— Mel Morrison
A woman clothed with strength and dignity
Charm is deceptive and over time beauty flees
Woven from a rib and flesh from dust, Scarlett’s fearless
Her ashes repentance firestorm, forgiven
Harlot is crowned, a noble wife and woman
He grew up before him prophecy announced
Like a tender shoot, a root out of dry ground
No beauty or majesty in him found
But a man of great duty and suffering
He is not adorned in jewels and no prince charming
Is he a diamond in the rough or appalling?
She wakes while it is still night
Dina prepares breads and meals for family
Hungry footprints of the least coming to feast
She vigorously works and plants fields of tithing
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink
She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy
I was sick and you looked after me and a Kinsmen’s redeems
A woman came to him with alabaster jar of very expensive perfume
Aromas of worship flowed sweet honey over his head
Many, alarmed, “why pour such value on a man of no regard?”
No regard? “What she’s done has prepared me for burial and glory.”
The whole world will know from now on: “in memory of her.”
She brings good and not harm.
Suffering servant was despised and afflicted
Unto death he poured out his life
All sin past, present, and future, upon him
Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer
What will you repent to the LORD and offer?
She is clothed in fine linen and purple and the LORD will call you wife
For you are more valuable than rubies and sparrows
Jesus is Lord coming for his Bride
