BEATITUDES OF WOMEN

by Michael Timothy McALevey and Thomas Joseph Sullivan

Blessed are the faithful women;
For their courage will guide generations.

Blessed are the long-suffering women;
For they will have eternal serenity.

Blessed are the persevering women;
For theirs is the joy of liberation.

Blessed are the dauntless women;
For they will know the fruition of justice.

Blessed are the inquisitive women;
For they open new possibilities.

Blessed are the indomitable women;
For theirs is the respect of the ages.

Blessed are the valiant women;
For their reward is glory in heaven.

Blessed are the sustaining women;
For theirs is the gratitude of God.

And, in perpetuity, blessed are all women;
For they nurture human progress

I rise up
In every way

In my own soul

Beautiful Chorus – Hey Queen

Hey Queen, Hey Queen,
You are not alone
You can have whatever you dream
Listen to your own inner voice
You know what you want

Hey Queen, Hey Queen,
We see you
You are not alone
Keep going
Keep growing
You are loved…
Hey Queen.
