The woman I see . . .
    the image of me . . .
    when I look in the mirror,
    what do I see?

    Is it pleasing to Him?
    The reflection I see?
    Am I strong? Am I wise?
    . . . as He wants me to be?

    It isn't the image the mirror reflects . . .
    that's nothing but dust from this earth.
    In the heart and the soul of a woman of God . . .
    therein lies the treasure of rubies . . . the worth.


    It's the time that I spend . . . and the message I bring,
    to others who see me each day.
    Do they know how I love Him? Are they able to tell . . .
    Or do I carefully hide it away?

    Is my lamp burning?
    My vineyards, do they abound?
    When you need a woman for service,
    can I be found?


    Oh, Lord, I want so to grow.
    To be pleasing to You.
    To give my life up to You, . . .
    is what I must do.

    For without You beside me . . .
    my lamp would go out.
    Wisdom would faulter . . .
    and darkness abound.

    In Proverbs You tell me, . . .
    so clearly, Your words are so true.
    You tell me exactly . . .
    what You'd have me do.


    When I reach out, woman to woman . . .
    to another in need,
    Oh, it takes but a moment,
    to plant just one seed.

    I pray it's a seed I have planted
    in a woman You'll call.
    As You whisper and tell her, . . .
    "My daughter, . . . you excel them all."

    Use me, Lord!

    Proverbs 31:10-31

    "A virtuous woman, who can find?
    For her worth is far above rubies...
    She looks for wool and flax,
    and works with her hands...
    She is like merchant ships;
    she brings food from afar...
    She rises while it is still night,
    and gives food to her household
    and portions to her maidens.
    She considers a field and buys it;
    From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
    Her lamp does not go out at night.
    She is not afraid of snow for her household,
    for all her household are clothed in scarlet.
    She makes coverings for herself;
    her clothing is fine linen and purple.
    Her children rise up and praise her;
    Her husband also..."
