A Strong Woman... Tears Flow Down

A strong woman... tears flow down, Her lips pressed tight, held firm... To place her heart in heavenly hands— Life's resonating, sounding theme!

A strong woman... pain has kindled, Waves of feeling strike her down. Yet she has strengthened—conquered all, And raised her eyes up to the sky.

A strong woman... forgives so much, Wages wars to guard her home. Her life she spends in service given, And lives victorious, living on.

A strong woman... mist and tempest Press and suffocate her soul. A strong heart knows no bondage to sorrow, Lives above all pressure's toll!

A strong woman... gentleness and meekness, Tenderness, care, and love, A spirit silent, service, vigor, These are her adornment anew.

A strong woman... whence comes her power? What is the secret hidden there? Youth has passed, yet still she's beautiful, Life flows through her like a stream!

A strong woman... finds her happiness in God, Strong through God's own mighty strength! Yes, this power is given to the few, And it is called by faith's true name.

A strong woman... many women exist, Those who are strong through their own will. But she alone is precious gem and pearl, With her no others can compare!

A strong woman will overcome all things, Will shine resplendent, having won. Love will lay a path through all her trials— Life's resonating, sounding theme!
