Louise Nelson Poet Dramatic Verse

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
