She looks beyond the natural things
And sees by faith what supernatural brings
She hears the sound when work bell rings
And rises up securing her apron strings
Knees bent in prayer she looks not for ease
She walks and talks she sings and laughs
You wonder how she views her daily tasks
Children asleep to her husband she speaks
Dear let's bow down at the Saviour's feet
And worship Him before we take our retreat
She waste no time to question his mind
But concern with His words more defined
With few minutes here and few minutes there
She give and receives love in quiet atmosphere
She remove herself from what would interfere
This woman so pleasant and full of good cheer
She scatters sunshine and glows everywhere
With such contentment her songs fill the air
She girds her loins with the garment of praise
And her lips bear all kinds of spiritual fruit
She grumbles not about things she can't change
And spends time praying asking God to re-arrange
Her thoughts and her feelings with desire to engage
In some glorious assignment sets out in His word
So with earnest desire she picks up her sword
Dressed as a soldier she marches without fear
And trust Him completely to guide her affair
She sees all the pitfalls and traps from afar
Knows there's an ambush but trust in His care
Believes none can defeat her because He is near.
