make me a woman

mold me into a woman fit for you

fill me with God, fill me with Jesus

fill me with the Spirit and all of their achievements

make me submissive, make me endearing

pull me back to a place when

I would have done anything for you

a time still unyet disillusioned

a period still unyet jaded

make me a woman

ever-present in your work

hovering, cheering, supporting

make me a woman

someone not unlike you

of equal burden, yoke me to you

make me a woman

a serene Madonna, a symbol of grace to your congregation

I ask of you, make me a woman

let me birth Sons of God for you

let me be the mother of your children

make me a woman

let me fulfill my wifely duties

in the secrecy of your eyes,

let me be alluring and wanton

let me be a harlot

and seduce you with my hungry body

I beg of you, in His name, make me a woman

make me a woman make me a woman make me a woman make me a woman make me a woman make me an woman make me an woman make me an woman make me an woman make me an woman make me the woman make me the woman make me the woman make me the woman make me your woman make me your woman make me your woman make me your woman
