[Intro] (as a prayer) Father in Heaven Help align me with Your Will Help me see the woman You intend me to be. [Verse 1] (as a still-soft voice from Heaven) In the quiet of the morning, she rises with the sun Clothed in strength and dignity, her work is never done She tends the hearts of little ones, with wisdom from above She should be of noble character, overflowing with His love. Her hands are quick to labor, her words are kind and true She builds her home on Jesus Christ, the Rock that will not move From dawn till evening shadows fall, her lamp it never dies She fears the Lord with all her heart, and in His Word she thrives [Chorus] (As a mother to her daughter) Oh, be a virtuous woman, be a daughter of the King Shining in the church, in marriage, in everything Be a helper, mother, sister, bride In God's perfect order, you should abide He calls you blessed, He calls you strong In every season, sing this song Virtuous woman, stand and shine For the glory of the Lord is thine! [Verse 2] In holy matrimony, she stands beside her man Submitting with a gentle heart according to His plan He loves her like Christ loved the church, and gave Himself away She honors him with reverence, and together they obey She is his crown of glory, his joy and his delight A fruitful vine within the home, bearing life and light Together they raise arrows straight, for the battle of the Lord A family built on Scripture, with Jesus as the Lord [Chorus] (As a father to his daughter) Oh, be a virtuous woman, be a daughter of the King Shining in the church, in marriage, in everything Be a helper, mother, sister, bride In God's perfect order, you should abide He calls you blessed, He calls you strong In every season, sing this song Virtuous woman, stand and shine For the glory of the Lord is thine! [Verse 3] In the body of believers, she serves with willing hands Teaching younger women how to love as God commands She speaks with Godly counsel, she prays without ceasing A pillar in the house of God, soft guidance in all seasons She trains up faithful servants, she comforts those who mourn With joy she shares the Gospel, from the day that she was born Deborah, Ruth, Mary, Esther— their legacies live on In every faithful woman who will follow Christ alone [Bridge] Blessed is she who trusts in Him, whose hope is in the Lord Become the standard of wisdom, this is her reward From generation to generation, her light will lead the way For she who fears the Lord shall be remembered and be praised! [Chorus] (As Christ to His daughter) Oh, be a virtuous woman, be a daughter of the King Shining in the church, in marriage, in everything Be a helper, mother, sister, bride In God's perfect order, you should abide He calls you blessed, He calls you strong In every season, sing this song Virtuous woman, stand and shine For the glory of the Lord is thine!
