One Woman
This video depicts the power of the black woman and chronicles just a few of her storied accomplishments throughout history. It takes back the legacy of those African/Edenic/Black women whose identities were stolen over time due to white supremacy and apartheid. Every woman in the video is a black woman, of African descent, and can be proven historically. Yet mainstream media still portrays these matriarchs and progenitors of civilization as white. This society owes its very existence to these Queens of Civilization. Without them, there would be no us. Its time we recognize and acknowledge their power. Never under estimate the power of a Black Woman.
“One Woman”
If one woman made up her mind
To everyone she meets, be kind
And fix her heart on that which is true
If one woman would be so bold
As to embrace the Gospel and hold
Just think what a million women could do
If one woman changed her thought
Each time the tempter brought
Some selfish scheme that would her neighbor undo
If she thought for just a minute
Just where is the kindness in it
Just think what a million thoughts like that could do
If Sarah could wait all those years
And God dried her baron tears
And widow Naomi’s tears dried too
If Boaz could depend on Ruth
To faithfully tell him the truth
Just think what a million Ruth’s could do
If Esther could find good reason
To stay patient throughout her season
And Bathsheba is how Solomon came through
If Deborah the prophetess judge
Could face enemies and not budge
Just think what a million Deborah’s could do
If cousins Elizabeth and Mary
Could each miraculously carry
Both John and Savior Jesus too
If Martha’s belief in what Jesus said
Raised Lazarus from his death-bed
Just think what a million Martha’s could do
If one woman would take a second
When her needy neighbor beckoned
And followed literally Moses tenth command
With spirits filled and nourished
Our neighborhoods would flourish
How quickly piece would spread throughout this land
If one woman made up her mind
To no matter what, be kind
No matter what others might put her through
The strength of that one woman’s resolve
Would all our problems solve
And just think what a million women like that can do
