Sarah's Daughters

I just finished the first draft of the lyrics of a new song. Here they are in their roughness.
World premier.
The mostly finished product can be viewed here and here.

Sarah's Daughters
by Neil Short

Sarah called on Yahweh. She was God's elect. 
She esteemed her man in mutual respect. 
Trembling, she met God out on the wild frontier. 
We are Sarah's daughters if we do not fear. 

(refrain)
We have the news of Jesus' sacrifice. 
He made us prophets by enkindled tongues of fire. 
So lift your voice about the love of Christ. 
We minister the gospel of salvation's power. 

All who live a godly life will be abused. 
We are steady if we keep the scripture dear. 
We have God when we are wrongfully accused. 
We are Sarah's daughters if we persevere. 

God has given ministry to everyone―
Even son and daughter prophets in their youth―
As when came the Spirit in Jerusalem. 
We are Sarah's daughters if we preach the truth. 

Scriptures: 
1 Peter 3:6; Genesis 18:12; 16:5; 2 Timothy 3:12-17; Acts 2:17-18
