Mulheres Guerreiras

I see here rising up a different army
They are brave women, I see a general in the front
The militia soldiers are trained for battle
And the weapon they carry, surely, never fails
They have calloused knees, hearts full of tears
Their groans are trumpets, they don't decipher the lyrics much
But they call God in the early morning

God raised valiant women
Just as Deborah was for Israel
God raised gifted women
Just like Dorcas, faithful women
God raised a woman like Sarah
To believe in God's promises
God raised a woman like Hannah
Who moans and cries in God's temple

Anointed women, warrior women
United women forming ranks
Women who seek, women who pray
Women who cry out and plead to God
Women who sing, women who march
Women who face with the sword in hand
Fearful women, valiant women
Who face the battle with their faces on the ground

I see strong women here who face head-on
The enemy so cruel, who confronts them, never surrenders
Women who do not give up, nor surrender to sin
But praying and fasting, they see evil exterminated
They are chosen women, well guarded by God
There is no strong or brave one who dares to be in front
Of the woman God supports

God raised valiant women
Just as Deborah was for Israel
God raised gifted women
Just like Dorcas, faithful women
God raised a woman like Sarah
To believe in God's promises
God raised a woman like Hannah
Who moans and cries in God's temple

Anointed women, warrior women
United women forming ranks
Women who seek, women who pray
Women who cry out and plead to God
Women who sing, women who march
Women who face with the sword in hand
Fearful women, valiant women
Who face the battle with their faces on the ground

I see holy women here, ready to obey
Humility is their character, they know their duty
They are women who watch, they are kind and hospitable
Shoulder to shoulder with their leader, they overcome barriers
Unity is their secret, they are present in the battle
Hell fears and trembles where there are women of God
The demon steps aside
