Always carrying, chronic shame
Subconsciously, ever struggling
Feeling guilt, so casting blame.

Not crushed, tho’ hard-pressed
But thro’ Jesus, not despairing

Each weakness and failure

A way out, an escape
That we’re able, to endure

Appealed to their senses
Denied truths, God revealed.

Stay far from temptations
Not seeking our pleasure
Instead, cleaving closer
To Christ, our true treasure.

Speak out for righteousness
Declare God’s Truth
Be a woman of valor
Be engaged, not aloof.
