"A Woman" lyrics

Ellie Holcomb & Amy Grant Lyrics

"A Woman"

I could never speak it
But I didn't quit when they called me heretic
They said I was too dangerous
So, I stood with all the women at a distance

But once my name crossed His lips
How could I keep quiet
He is not ashamed to be
Seen with me beside Him

I have seen the Lord
I will speak of Him
And nobody could talk me out of it
I have seen the Lord
And my Lord's seen me
Oh, He said my name
And told me 'go and speak'
Of what You've seen

How could I not speak it
That You didn't quit when they called You heretic
They said it was too scandalous
For You to come so close to me
But You still did it

And once my name crossed His lips
How could I keep silent
He is not ashamed to be
Seen with me beside Him

I have seen the Lord
I will speak of Him
And nobody could talk me out of it
I have seen the Lord
And my Lord's seen me
Oh, He said my name
And told me 'go and speak'
Of what You've seen

I will run and tell the story of
The One denied stayed buried but it is alive
Sprit's setting tongues on fire

All of heaven's singing glory, glory, glory
Trees are clapping, clapping, clapping
Rocks are shouting, shouting, shouting
And then there's me, a woman

And I will speak
Of what I've seen
I will speak
Of what I've seen
I will speak
Of what I've seen
Go and speak
Of what You've seen
Go and speak
Of what You've seen
Go and speak

"A Woman" is the debut single from the album "FAITHFUL: Go and Speak", a part of the release which contains songs and stories of God's kindness to women throughout history. The ministries of Compassion International, David C Cook, and Integrity Music released the "FAITHFUL Project", a collaborative effort which included a book, music and live events.
The story of Mary Magdalene is shared in this song written by Ellie Holcomb, writer Ann Voskamp, and artist Sarah Macintosh. "Who knew that the deep, unspoken broken of so many years as a woman could be healed through this divine song that pulses with the heartbeat of the father for his daughters," said Voskamp of the song. "Who knew that the story, straight out of Scripture, of Mary Magdalene, set to song, could touch old wounds, change the refrain of a woman's heart beat now? Who knew how the heart was aching for the relief – and release – of this song? 'A Woman' is a song, a heart cry, a healing, for every woman."
