1 She came to Jesus from outside the fold--
Canaanite woman! Persistent and bold!
Looking to Jesus, she wanted to see
one who would help her and set her child free.
2 Claiming a blessing, a touch of God's grace, ,
she knew God's love was not bounded by place.
Jesus, you listened, debated--then healed--
for in her asking her faith was revealed.
3 God, you still bless those who seek you in prayer.
You welcome dreamers who faithfully dare.
In Christ, now risen, your mercy tends:
those on the outside are welcomed as friends.
