WHY I PRAISE YOUWE'VE COME A LONG LONG WAY TOGETHER,
I HAVE TO PRAISE YOU LIKE I SHOULD.
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO BROUGHT ME OUT,
AND YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD.
THOUGH THE ROAD SEEMED LONG AND ROUGH AT TIMES;
YOU WERE THERE, ALWAYS BY MY SIDE.
AND YOUR FAITHFULNESS DID COMFORT ME,
BECAUSE YOU HEARD MY EVERY CRY.YOU WERE BY MY SIDE EACH NIGHT AND DAY,
AND YOU LEAD ME EVERY HOUR.
YOU KNEW I HAD LITTLE STRENGTH WITHIN,
BUT YOU GAVE ME YOUR GRACE AND POWER.
WE'VE COME A LONG LONG WAY TOGETHER,
YOU'VE BEEN SO MERCIFUL TO ME.
O' YES I THANK YOU AND I PRAISE YOU,
IT'S YOU WHO GIVES ME THE VICTORY.WHEN I STOOD BEFORE THE MOUNTAIN STRONG
WITH SUCH CONFUSION IN MY HEART,
IT WAS BY FAITH AND TRUST IN YOU ALONE
THAT THIS MOUNTAIN WOULD SOON DEPART.
WE'VE COME A LONG LONG WAY TOGETHER
FROM BEGINNING TO THE END.
YOU HAVE PROMISED NEVER TO LEAVE ME,
ONLY ON YOU I CAN DEPEND.YET AT TIMES IT IS STILL SO HARD FOR ME
TO UNDERSTAND THE REASONS WHY.
I HAD TO PASS THROUGH LONG DARK VALLEYS,
THINKING THAT I WOULD SURELY DIE.
WE'VE COME A LONG LONG WAY TOGETHER
THIS IS WHY I PRAISE YOU LIKE I SHOULD.
FOR THE VICTORIES THAT YOU GAVE TO ME,
KNOWING IT'S YOU WHO ONLY COULD.
I WANT TO PRAISE YOU AND TO THANK YOU
YOU'VE BROUGHT ME SUCH A LONG LONG WAY.
BUT FOR YOUR GRACE AND LOVE AND MERCY,
I WOULD NOT BE STANDING HERE TODAY.Copyright ©2005 Elizabeth Stewart All Rights Reserved

A WOMAN OF VALUEA WOMAN OF VALUE HAS TRUE BEAUTY INSIDE;
WHERE GODS LOVE, STRENGTH, AND SPIRIT ABIDE.
HER ADORNING IS NOT OUTWARD LIKE WEARING GOLD;
BUT IT IS AFTER THE MANNER AS IN TIMES OF OLD.
IT'S NOT IN THE PLATING OF HAIR AND COSTLY CLOTHES;
ITS A MEEK AND QUIET SPIRIT THE WOMAN OF VALUE CHOSE.
THIS IN THE SITE OF GOD, NOT CORRUPTIBLE, BUT OF GREAT PRICE.
DIAMONDS AND RUBIES LIKE THIS WORLD SHALL SOON PASS.
THE WOMAN OF VALUE SEEKS ONLY THE THINGS THAT WILL LAST.
NOT JUST PROFESSING GODLINESS IS HER CLAIM;
SHE DOES ONLY THE THINGS THAT BRING HONOR TO
HER SAVIORS NAME.
SHE IS HUMBLE AND GENTLE, LOVING AND KIND;
IN LOVING SERVICE SHE FREELY GIVES OF HER TIME.
SHE'S GIVEN TO HOSPITALITY, SHE IS SINCERE AND GENUINE.
SHE IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO GOD AND HIS WORD NO
MATTER THE COST;
FOR SHE COUNTS ALL OTHER THINGS AS NOTHING, AND AS LOSS.
SHE IS FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT, NOT DRUNK WITH WINE IN EXCESS.
SHE DRESSES NOT WORLDLY, BUT SHE'S IN MODEST APPEAL WITH
ALL SHAME FACEDNESS.
SHE'S CONCERNED MORE FOR OTHERS THAN HER OWN WELFARE;
SHE IS FERVENT IN WORSHIP AND EFFECTIVE IN PRAYER.
SHE IS LIKE HOLY WOMEN OF OLD WHO TRUSTED IN GOD.
AS SARA OBEYED ABRAHAM AND DID NOT DEFRAUD.
SHE SUBMITTED TO HIM WILLINGLY CALLING HIM LORD.
HER STRENGTH AND DIGNITY, HONOR AND WORTH;
DIDN'T COME FROM THINGS THAT SHE ACCOMPLISHED
HERE ON EARTH.
HARD WORK, FEAR OF GOD, RESPECT FOR HER SPOUSE; FORESIGHT;
ENCOURAGEMENT, CONCERN FOR THE POOR, SUCCESS, WISDOM, AND
CARE FOR OTHERS, THEY ARE ALL A RESULT OF HER REVERENCE FOR GOD,HER HEAVENLY FATHER.Copyright ©2005 Elizabeth Stewart All Rights Reserved
