In a previous post, I gave readers the opportunity to download a song for free, “He’s in Control” from the album He Shall Restore. I have now replaced that with another song: “Thank God for the Pastor’s Wife.” I will have it available through Christmas. Merry Christmas! The song is dedicated to my wife and on behalf of her to all pastors’ wives. This song will appear on an album to be released next year, Lord willing.Here are the words:
Thank God for the Pastor’s Wife
Copyright 2007 Michael Anthony Milton
You didn’t know The places you’d go On the day when you said “I do” And you’ve traveled far To be the person you are But leaving is so hard to do Yes leaving is so hard to do But with grace and with poise You’ve withstood the noise Of the wounded who cry at your door Seeking your husband To help them find God It seems like there’s always one more If there’s crowns on that day and I have my say I’ll plead that the Lord gives you mine For when people heard me What they couldn’t see Was the deepest part of my life “Thank God for the pastor’s wife” When I heard the call You caught it all The moving, the setting up new And when your husband hears voices There’s few other choices But to pray that He’s hearing aright But you walked by faith and not sight So many times you’ve suffered in silence When some use your husband in vain And few know the costs of following God In the desert, in the night, in the rain Covered dishes and circles and smiling through pain For others see a pastor, a prophet and priest But you see a husband, a dad But the Lord heals you secretly and gives you the grace And I’ve seen you laugh in the night at the bad So I wrote this song And I won’t be long Though you deserve so much more “Cause people can talk but you’ve walked the walk You faithfully stood by the door And nudged me to preach once more If there’s crowns on that day and I have my say I’ll plead that the Lord gives you mine For when people heard me What they couldn’t see Was the deepest part of my life “Thank God for the pastor’s wife” No, honey, let me say this: “I’ll Thank God that you were my wife”
