Women Walking In Confidence In the Power and Presence of God

If a man dies and leaves no sons why can't his daughters receive his property as well ?
So the 5 daughters of Zelophehad went to Moses and their concerns to him they did tell
Those five women walked in confidence stalwart, strong and upright 
Those five daughters walked in confidence in the power and the presence of Christ 

Why are women told to stay in their place and why are we viewed as less ?
We are also children of the most high God and yes we too are blessed 
A double standard is what our male-dominated society has always perpetrated 
But as women we only want to be treated as equal, respected and liberated 

When stating our case we need to be concise and possess the spirit of clarity 
While presenting our concerns with a calm sense of disparity 
As women we need to be confident eventhough we might be scared 
And our challenge is to remember that God gave us the spirit of no fear
As women we need to be bold and  daunting with courage in our hearts 
For we've been equipped with a faith that comes from trusting in The Lord God 
As women we need to be countercultural when taking controversial positions 
For its no popularity contest when it comes to changing status quo conditions 

We are now women walking in confidence at any given hour
We are women walking with Christ trusting in His Resurrection power 
So before you do anything in life, don't forget to pray 
Bringing God into the midst just to hear what HE has to say 
Women walking in confidence with clarity, courage and care
Women walking in confidence with godly power and the spirit of no fear
