Why don’t we call it courage when a woman takes a stand?
Her words are seldom recognized, unlike the voice of men
Why is she over looked for positions where she could lead?
Her passions are silenced; she is expected to concede
God created us equal, so why is she excluded?
When decisions loom behind closed doors, she’s seldom included.
The world has missed the mark when it comes to a woman’s voice
Her passions, dreams and gifting are reasons to rejoice
Rise up, women of the kingdom, your victory awaits
Continue to fight and run patiently your given race
Be fearless in your conquest. God has not forgotten you.
Though enemies are all around, His strength will take you through
A sweet yet fearsome roar will be released across the land
As women join the battle cry and with the men they stand
Side by side, with swords in hand, they advance into the fray
United they will conquer. They are fighters of the Brave!
