[Title: THE ORDER OF GOD] [Subtitle: A BODY WITHOUT A HEAD CANNOT RULE] [Intro] A body without a Head can run. It can flap. It can scatter. It can make a whole lot of noise. [Silence] BUT IT CANNOT RULE. [Verse 1] But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. There's the order. She didn't need another throne. She needed to stop fighting the Word. He didn't need to become her god. He needed to hold HIS HEAD— CHRIST. [Chorus] I SURRENDERED TO THE WORD! AND LOOK WHAT THE LORD HATH DONE! I DIDN'T LOSE MY VOICE— I FOUND WHERE TO STAND! THE ELECT LADY STOOD UP WHEN SHE BOWED DOWN TO THE ORDER OF GOD! PRAISE THE LORD! [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. [Silence] EVEN AS CHRIST. There's the guardrail. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. Not domination. Not humiliation. Not a woman made small. God's order. Christ the Head. The husband under Christ. The wife no longer trying to be her own head. [Silence] And suddenly— THE BODY COULD MOVE TOGETHER. [Chorus] I SURRENDERED TO THE WORD! AND LOOK WHAT THE LORD HATH DONE! Man— YOU HAVE A HEAD TOO. Woman— YOU ARE NOT HEADLESS. You have a Head in heaven and order in the house. PRAISE THE LORD! [Bridge] Holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] THE ELECT LADY DIDN'T RISE BY CROWNING HERSELF! SHE SURRENDERED TO THE WORD! SHE FOUND THE ORDER! SHE FOUND HER PLACE! AND FROM THAT PLACE— SHE STOOD! The man has a Head. The woman has a head. And over the whole house— CHRIST. PRAISE THE LORD! [Outro] He must increase, but I must decrease. [Long Silence] JESUS IS THE LORD.
