DAUGHTER OF GODtc "DAUGHTER OF GOD"
Tommy F. O� Connor
If God had a Daughter like He had a Son,
Would He modify His plan,
To be born in a stable?
Would her mother be a virgin
And with her dad take flight
From murder-minded soldiers
Pursuing infanticide?
If God had a Daughter what role would She play?
Would She give her heart as Saviour,
And die that gruesome way?
Would She lead a woman’s army
And be hailed as Queen?
Would men become disciples
And anoint her weary feet?
If God had a Daughter when would She be born?
Would history be divided
As pre and post her dawn?
Would She face the world’s problems
And challenge how they’re caused?
Would her colour be a factor
Or the place where She was born?
If God had a Daughter like He had a Son
WouldShebeachampionathlete,
Orplaymusicjustforfun?
Would She thrill the hearts of listeners
With her songs of mirth and joy?
Or would She live unnoticed
Like when brother was a boy?
If God had a Daughter how would Her work be done?
Would those at war ignore her
Because of where She’s from?
Would all who care not for the world
Or for its forms of life
Scorn the woman’s simple words,
Their truth to override?
Perhaps Jesus had a sister, maybe not just one.
Perhaps He’s had a million
In each decade since He Came:
The heart of homes throughout the world,
The soul of all who love,
Just waiting for the time to addÂ
Their meaning to God’s Word.
