"Marriage"

Thoughts about marriage according to Ephesians 5:22-33

"Marriage"

Today people say, "define marriage"

Let's talk about husbands and wives 

You said we could find happiness
If only we'd follow Ephesians five

 

Verse twenty-two speaks of submission

This seems so very hard to me

Especially the part about "everything"

This day and age, did you really foresee 

 

Things are so crazy here, You know

I am sure You see it every day

We work so hard for all our "stuff " 

Most never taking the time to pray

 

You are the head of the church, dear Lord

Like the bridegroom is to the bride
This is your holy plan for us 

Our man is to be the guide

Husbands should love their wives

As a precious gift from above

  Love her as he loves himself

Be closer than hand and glove

Verse thirty-two says this mystery is great

It's all about Christ and His church

To show love and respect for each other,

  Know His ways, the Word we must search

 

Man's authority must be honest

It's not right to use and abuse

She pleases her man, God says obey

 For holiness, His Word she pursues

Christ said to make time for prayer

In marriage, there's much to be said

To comply to his love and wishes

Keep things pure in the marriage bed

 She must be wise and gentle

She is the princess of his life

After all, it was God who sent her

To be his faithful and loving wife

God has given man the authority

Today, that is plain and clear

But it doesn't necessarily mean 

 He should be downing his third beer

Lord we so need your help

In this difficult day and age

Your word we know is the truth 

To use as our holiness gauge
