She walked with her past on her face for too long
Her pain became part of her very existence
It dimmed her eyes and flowed from her mouth
She was not nice to be around
Till He allured her into the wilderness
Where He spoke kindly to her
His heart and His arms
transformed her
Into the daughter He created
her to be
There is a glow on her face and her tenderness in her touch
Her eyes shine with His love
and His grace
She is free at last from her fears and her pain
In the wilderness she discovered who she really was
His covenant daughter
An atmosphere changer
Transformed into His image
Clothed with His love
She is strong and courageous
His battle axe and His weapon
of war
He makes her strong through intimacy
And she clings to every word that He speaks over her
She became a story of His mercy and grace
Extended to all the weary ones,
she embraces
So that they too would be lured
into the wilderness
Never to be the same
