Unveiled
(This is dedicated to all women who have been abused and betrayed by the men who controlled their future.)
She was abused and used, and yearned for justice
She was a fighter and a woman of courage
She wanted to protect what was rightfully hers
She took a risk and claimed her destiny
Betrayed by the men who controlled her future
She fought for her right to believe in a loving God
By her bravery she preserved the Tribe of Judah
Allow me somebody, to reintroduce
A woman of courage who never gave up
Tamar
Unashamed
(This is dedicated to all women with past mistakes who think their history has power to shape their future)
She was like Rapunzel, waiting for her escape
Up in a tower on city walls of Jericho, she sold her body
She was a strong willed woman, who believed her redemption was nigh
It only took one day, the day she had been waiting for
Two Hebrew spies touched her heart
And she professed her faith in an unseen God
She moved the heart of God,
So much she is a hero of faith in Hebrews 11
Allow me somebody, to reintroduce
A woman of great faith
Rahab
Unshaken
(This is dedicated to all women who give up everything to follow their faith, expecting nothing in return)
She was a woman of Moab, a foreigner
She gave up her home, her family, her future
To love a woman who had given her a husband
Your people shall be my people, your God my God
Her worth was far above rubies
Better to her mother in law than 10 sons
Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing
But a woman who fears the Lord she shall be praised
She gave up everything expecting nothing
And God honoured her
Allow me somebody, to reintroduce
A woman of virtue
Ruth
Unspoken
(This is dedicated to all women who have made that one mistake that will mar their reputation for the rest of their lives)
She made a mistake that cost her reputation
She was an adulteress, and she deserved to be stoned to death
A woman who was never meant to wear royal robes
But her beauty stirred the passion of a King
Her pain moved the heart of God
She became the beloved wife of the King
The mother of the wisest man who ever lived
Her son honoured her and gave her a throne
Allow me somebody to reintroduce
A woman of unmerited grace
Bathsheba
Unafraid
(This is dedicated to all women who have dreams that seems impossible, to achieve ,who are waiting for that special moment when the impossible will became a reality)
She was a young woman who yearned for the living God
Her soul magnified the Lord
And she rejoiced in God her Saviour
She watched and waited for the Messiah
Little did she know the prophet Isaiah had spoken about her
Unafraid to bear the stigma of pregnancy outside of wedlock
She boldly trusted in what God had chosen for her
All eternity had been waiting for this one moment
And God chose her
Allow me somebody to reintroduce
A woman after God’s own heart
Mary
These are five ordinary woman chosen by God
The only women to be mentioned in Mathew’s genealogy of Christ
Each woman is an object lesson about the working of Devine Grace
Five unlikely women who changed eternity
Allow me somebody to reintroduce
Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, Mary
The five women in the lineage of Grace
