Girl Forgotten

Out of years of silence out of constant blame
Out of dark obscurity into cleasing rain
Women lift you faces, sisters lift you hands
Embrace the endless spaces, listen if you can

Chorus
I am girl forgotten I am easily ignored
No longer silent but bold before the Lord
I am Eve in eden, I am Jael with stake in hand
I am Sarah laughing, I am Hagar’s sand
I am Rachel weeping, I am Rachel

Martha’s in the kitchen, Magda’s on her knees
Ruth is on the threshing floor, Mary’s at God’s feet
Debora’s on the Mountainside, Rahab’s in the wall
Anna’s in the temple, and Christ is Lord of all

The frailest shoulders hold up history
Lost in veils and silent mystery
The deepest strands of salvation’s tapestry
I am...
