Sisters Are We

There is a group of women
Brought together by the Lord.
With backgounds so diverse
Some even cross the ocean floor.

A common bond between them
The Master did instill.
A desire to grow and serve,
To do the Father's will.

Some will be like Martha
They'll work 'til the work is done.
Others semblance is to Mary,
Who sit and worship the Father's Son.

At one time or another
Like Naomi we'll grumble and complain.
Blinded to what He's provided
Our spirits become lame.

A few resemble Deborah
For they were meant to lead,
Fighting battles like a warrior
When someone is in need.

Others possess the strength of Esther
Risking all for the greater good.
But like Ruth we follow where He leads;
This forms our sisterhood.

All serve the Lord in different ways
But we are of one accord.
Faithfully Standing is our creed,
Heaven our great reward.
