More woman

Last night we had our annual Moore Women dinner to farewell those leaving college at the end of the year. It was a great opportunity to dress up, enjoy a nice meal and time with friends. Some of the women sang what is perhaps the 'theme song' for women at Moore College. It is to be sung to the tune 'I am Woman' by Helen Reddy and Ray Burton. I can really relate to this! The words are below:

I'm a woman here at Moore
I've got no kids, two, three, four.
I am single. I am married. I'm engaged.
I am often really tired and at times I've quite admired
Those who study, go to work or stay at home.

Chorus
I long to be wise
to trust God and obey.
Jesus paid the price
It's God's grace all the way.
So it's okay, not to do everything
I am tired (tired)
Sometimes I need some space (need some space)
I'm Moore Woman.

I was born at RPA
I've come from far away.
Church is new, at times it's stresssful, feels like home.
I find Sydney's quite a chore
I have friends who live next door.
Family too close, family too far, who to phone?

Chorus
I long to be wise
To know how to fill my day.
Jesus paid the price
His Spirit guides my way.
But there's no way, I can do everything
I am shy (shy)
I am in need of friends (in need of friends)
I'm Moore Woman.

I'm a pilgrim on the way
Facing distractions everyday
There's the TV, checking e-mail and the kids
But I really want to grow
And I'll need some help I know
To be joyful, patient, loving, humble, kind.

Chorus
I long to be wise
To delight in my Lord's way.
Jesus paid the price
He changes me each day
He says there's one thing, on above everything
Open your ears (ears)
Hear God's Word today (God's Word today)
Be more woman!
