Christ loves His church – His life he gave
He died upon the tree
To cleanse us from our sin – to save
And present us holy
The husband now should love his wife
Love sacrificially
And for her good now give his life
Her best seeking daily

His wife the husband nourishes
And for her needs provides
He cares for her and cherishes
His wife close by his side
With Christ his model to follow
And his sins washed away
He strives our Lord’s great love to show
With Christ’s power each day

In ev’ry marriage there is sin
Selfish and hideous
But Christ can take what is broken
And make it glorious
He calls us to humility
Each husband and each wife
Deny ourselves for His glory
And become more like Christ

(To the tune of “We Sing the Greatness of Our God”)
