Won By Praise

For my Pastor during a particularly rough time...

A lifetime of faithful service

that her people might stand strong

The body now worn and weary

ready to move on

Grant me the sword my shepherd

has borne in every fight

Let me carry her heavy armor

till dawn eclipses night

 

 Give her, Lord, a place of safety

to seek guidance for the day

Her hands raised up in victory

 to assure the battle goes our way

As before upon the mountain

let the prophet's standard raise

So all may know - though we are few

our fight be won by praise

 

Taught by faultless example

 without doubt, called here to serve

Though last battle grows so costly

as others loose faith and nerve

 We can look upon that mountain

and see our shepherd clear

We’ll stand our ground, just keep her safe

as good fights’ end draws near

This is profound ...It is a blessing to yourself...always to support men & women of God.

When Moses held his hands up and prayed the Hebrews kept winning the battle...when he grew wearyu
they stood by his side and held his arms up for him....as long as they did this victory continued.

Blessssssssssssss

I really loved this. We go through so many tough times in this life, but it's always wonderful to know that God is right there with us.

So nice to hear you have a woman pastor. :) We have women pastoring at our church as well. Paving the way for women in ministry in our city when there are many churches that believe a woman should not be a pastor or teach men. Thank you.
