Thanks for sticking with us this first week of Advent as we revisited the previously obscured watchfulness and Advent of our first mother, Eve.
Our grand finale features a song by Mother Eve, written to all women and people of the world and song by women from different parts of the world. You should sing along too!

Said Eve to Women Everywhere!
Verse 1.
Said Eve to women everywhere,
Listen to what I say!
Don’t despair women everywhere
Listen to what I say!
Our God, our God
Our Creator, loving God
Has promised he will deliver us
Has promised he will deliver us
2
The the colored women hurting everywhere
Listen to what I say
You’re part of God’s plan everyday
Listen to what I say!
He needs your voice, your hands, your legs, your work
To accomplish the hope of the redeemed
To accomplish the hope of the redeemed!
3
Said Eve to women everywhere!
Listen to what I say
Our God never gave up on your worth
Listen to what I say!
Just fix your eyes and never shirk your part
To fulfill your original call
And your purpose in God’s loving plan
4
Said Eve to people everywhere
Listen to what I say!
I felt the Father’s love, everyone,
So listen to what I say!
He set His love on me His fallen one
And He lifted me up from the dust
With the promise of love to redeem
5
Said Eve to people everywhere
Listen to what I say!
I know the Father’s heart everyone
Listen to what I say!
Our God, our God
Our Creator loving God
Never gives up on women or men
Never gives up on women or men
6
Now hear me people everywhere
Listen to what I say!
He gave me hope people everywhere
Listen to what I say
A hope, a hope
A very shining hope
Set’s itself over a Bethlehem stall
And reached out to the world from the Cross!
7
So I fix my eyes on Him everyday
And listen to what He says
You must fix your eyes on Him too
And listen to what he says
The flesh, the world,
May daily fight your place
But His love and His word will prevail
And His purpose you’ll fulfill!
8.
Now, listen to me people everywhere
Do you hear what I say?
I’m Eve, mother of people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Our God, our God
Our Father, loving God
Never gave up his plan for my life!
Never gave up his plan for my life!
