Yes Lord: Confident, Courageous and Called
Women are the womb
and the backbone of society
So in this women's season
let's celebrate how we came be
When I look back in history at the many
women who have come and gone
And the impact they made
and the challenges they borne
From Harriet Tubman to Shirley Chisolm
from Sojourner Truth to Rosa Parks
Women confident, courageous and called
to bring their sisters out of the dark
Women of impact destined
to lift each other up
Sisters of King Jesus
who in communion with Him supped
When I think about Mary the mother of Jesus
I now understand
Why she said yes Lord
I acquiesce to all of Your plans
And in spite of the difficulties and
challenges she would eventually face
Mary said yes without hesitate
eventhough apprehension was in place
We need to let go of the question
"Lord, how can this be?"
And comprehend with the Lord God
there is infinite possibilities
As its not about the who, the what, the when
the how nor the why
Its only about the Holy Spirit
and the power it supplies
Yes Lord, yes Lord one must
come to realize
That you might need to step out of
comfort zones to reap the heavenly prize
You can't come to God with stipulations
like you're having a contract debate
Its God's way or no way
not a minute to procrastinate
And you can't expect to have it
when you desire
For once you've said yes Lord
you must do when God requires
So get out of the way
and let God work on your behalf
Just sit down, shut up
and let God write up the draft
You may need to be pulled in
before God can push you out
You may need a tune-up or a cleaning
to remove all of your doubts
And to reduce the clutter
in the spiritual closet of your life
So your impact may be as
significant as that of Jesus the Christ
Now in order to limit the collateral damage
to those you love stay in formation
Now confident, courageous and called
because of your spiritual transformation
No longer pregnant with possibilities
Now ready to give birth to your new reality
To stop clenching to open up
and let God's plans come to fruition
Allowing the spiritual midwives to prep you
and place you in prime position
Yes Lord like Mary Mcloud Bethune
I'm confident to take on Your request
Yes Lord like Mabel G. Turner
I'm courageous enough to pass the test
Yes Lord like Mae Jamison
I'm ready to take on this mission
Yes Lord like Mother Mary
I give You total submission
Yes Lord I give You complete control
I'm ready to make my impact
as I surrender to You my soul
