Women of Seasons

Left as a young widow

Seven years, in loves bliss

But life was unkind and because of this

She fasted and prayed daily

In the temple of the most High

At eighty-four years God had heard her cry…

A tiny baby named Jesus, Simeon held in his arms

The Messiah has been born,

Sound the Alarm…

In the temple-courts as she enters the scene

She lifts her voice for she’s been given her dream…

“Savior, Deliverer, come see what I mean…”

Anna, full of grace, has met the King!

Seasons of life will come and go…

Occupy so that all will know…

Jesus is Messiah; go and share the good news…

Come see Jesus he’s waiting for you

Women of age do not despair…

Keep working and serving God everywhere

“Come see Jesus,” let this be your prayer…

In old age you are still vibrant,

There are souls that need his care…

God will use you to answer prayer!

Mark 15:40-41 New King James Version (NKJV) There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

Luke 2:36-38 New King James Version (NKJV)

Anna Bears Witness to the Redeemer

Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
