Wife, Obey your husband

I Submit To You

I submit to you
because my soul
has met its mate.

I submit to you
because you have proven yourself
worthy of my obedience,
and I want to follow
where you lead.

I submit to you
Because my skills
will be useful in the ministry
that God has called you to prepare
for his people,
and I want to do God’s work
by your side.

I submit to you
out of obedience to God.
Because my wild child days are over,
and I seek a relationship
that is more than surface deep.

I submit to your understanding.
I submit to your wisdom.
I submit to your care.
I submit to your love.

I submit to you
because I want God’s best,
and nothing else will do.

I thought it would be difficult
submitting to someone,
but once I submitted completely
to God’s will
it wasn’t hard at all.

It’s my pleasure to submit to you
Because you are the one
I’ve been waiting for.

So, I submit to you
in obedience to God.
