Women of courage, women of strength ,
Women of faith and devotion.
Mothers of children with spirits so strong
Who may have unbridled imaginations. REFRAIN: They are women, women of courage
They are Christians, towers of strength.
They are women who put Jesus first in life
Show’ ring His love on all those they greet. Women with losses, women who love,
Whose strength and whose courage comes from above,
Whether they're mothers; or loving Aunties,
It's plain to see Jesus’ love shines through them. REFRAIN: They are women, women of courage

Mysterious death! who in a single hour
Life's gold can so refine
And by thy art divine
Change mortal weakness to immortal power!
Bending beneath the weight of eighty years
Spent with the noble strife
of a victorious life
We watched her fading heavenward, through our tears.

Despondent from the hurtful things she said,
The words of anger ringing in my head.
Upon my bed I cry and pray to You,
And often wonder if Your word is true.
But who am I to doubt Your tender love,
When You have shown me mercies from above?
The God Who made the world, the sky and sea
Sees me for who I am, and still loves me.
Almighty One who calls the stars by name

When Gentlemen can see—
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.

I thought to change one hair tonight
from white to black, atop my head.
It seemed a try would be alright
while lying here upon my bed.
I called out to the powers that be
in all their forms amidst the sky,
but nothing changed at all for me
though I had given my best try.

In the darkness,
God light my path,
For I'm drawn to his light.
Like a moth
to a flame,
For I'm not fazed, nor,
doubted the might of his light.
But in his light.
i see the way,
for he leads me and guides

The sand has passed through the narrow glass
And barely a grain remains
The ticking arms of ten thousand clocks
Strike out a quickening pace
The days which seemed like years are no more
And years that were as decades now fly
And all of our hopes and dreams and fears
Have no longer a place to hide

i think of how i want to love
how God loves
and feel the constant need to know
how God knows.
i think of what it would mean to be the giver of justice,
to be the most merciful,
and the most forgiving.
but, God is not so kind.
