Woman of the Word,
Both written and embodied;
Loved by her gracious Lord;
She is not found so haughty;

Even with her grace and beauty,
Which will one day fail;
She prays the Lord, “Reprove me;
“Set me on heaven’s sail.”

“For with the gift I have in You,
Bought by Your precious blood;
Many blessings have I, so true,
From You, that You I would laud;

She is learning who she is,
As her God would have it;
Her security, only Him,
And her place on this planet;

So when she finds her beauty faded,
As she knows it must;
She will find His promises not jaded,
As she rises from the dust.




“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.”—1 Peter 3:3-6
