Joan of Ark
Standing, staring
Hearing, knowing
There is a battle cry!
Mother Teresa
Kneeling, bending
Serving, praying
There is a battle cry!
Amy Carmichael
Protecting, paying
Loving, saving
There is a battle cry!
Catherine Booth
Preaching, teaching
Leading, speaking
There is a battle cry!
What do you hear?
The battle cry goes on!
What is he calling you to?
The work he’d have you do?
Hearing, knowing?
Serving, praying?
Loving, saving?
Leading, speaking?
There is a battle cry!
Women of God arise!
There is a battle cry!
Arise!
Oh, Warrior of God
Arise!

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this poem!
Thanks for encouraging me and reminding me about the real purpose. I was kinda discouraged earlier (as you could tell from my e-mail :)). Your poem really lifted me up and helped me to focus. thanks :):)

I love this painting. It's on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We should go sometime. It's a really big picture.
