Christian Living
No clear meaning of her name is known;
through actions bold, defiant, grown,
meaning of her life is gleaned;
as for life-meaning Lord we plead.
From the clan of Caleb a prophetess arose
born to protect her baby brother;
from childhood guard in bullrushes tall
to praise-leader of triumphant Israel.
Born to serve and this she did,
when behind the bullrushes she hid,
protection of her brother gained,
as God led to him a princess dame.
From literal obscurity
support for sibling she adored;
Miriam led worship in victory songs;
A woman of God in Israel's nation.
Hate was too heavy a burden she bore,
it showed in the leprosy she endured,
her brother Moses troubled the throne,
until God granted in mercy; a cure.
A life of service to the Lord
ending in miraculous cure of leprosy;
Her brother's devotion as he atoned
after her stint of hypocrisy.
What a price she had to pay,
for condemning her brother's wife,
we must be careful what we say
about others in this life.
