• “A Christian woman’s true freedom lies on the other side of a very small gate—humble obedience—but that gate leads out into a largeness of life undreamed of by the liberators of the world, to a place where the God-given differentiation between the sexes is not obfuscated but celebrated, where our inequalities are seen as essential to the image of God, for it is in male and female, in male as male and female as female, not as two identical and interchangeable halves, that the image is manifested.” – Elisabeth Elliot

A Symphony of One by Alan Martin

Published June 21, 2011 | By womenofchristianity
Make us a symphony of One
Focused upon One conductor
Tuned to One concert pitch
Submitted to One tempo

Content to play One part
Perfected to One sound
Resulting in One purpose
The praise of our Composer

Free us from solo vain glory
Content us to watch as we rest
Ready to play our one measure
Trusting our Maestro knows best

Teach us love’s concert ambition
Cleanse us from comparing pride
Put to death vain competition
Let harmony’s fruit now abide

That Thou blessed Lord may have pleasure
Diverse yet through unity one
Accomplishing Your One true treasure
The summation of all in Your SON
