Washing Of Feet

I am a courageous woman

Who fights for those she loves,

I am no slave to pain or fear

I am pure just like a dove

 

The devil may try to tempt me

With false glory, jewels, or pride

But I know that God is with me,

He is always by my side

 

When I go through hills and valleys,

And days I don’t feel great,

I know they’re not my portion

For only God prepares my plate

 

When the darkness closes in

And the light is there no more

My God creates a beacon

And guides me towards the door

 

My courage comes from God

And fierceness from Him too, 

When Jesus died to save my soul

There was nothing left for me to do

 

Becoming a free woman

By the washing of my feet,

Gives me a glimpse of who I am

And who the Lord wants me to be

 

     In Guatemala, we had a squad meeting and there was a time for showing respect to each other; by washing one another’s feet. Amber started, and she came to me. She had decided to make me the first person to get their feet washed. I was beyond honored, and I felt like I could cry. After my feet were washed, I went and washed Skylar’s feet. 

     While we washed, we spoke to the person telling them things we admired, reminded them of God’s love, and just loving on them. When we finished, we dried their feet off and they took the tub onto the next person. It took a long time to finish, but none of us cared because we could seriously feel the Lord’s presence in that room, and we ended this night with worshiping an hour past curfew.
