The Pastor'S WIfe

The Pastor’s Wife

There is one person in our church

Who knows our Pastor’s life,

Who weeps and smiles and prays with him.

And that’s the Pastor’s Wife!

The crowds have seen him

In his strength,

When wielding God’s sharp sword,

As underneath God’s banner bold

He faced the devil’s horde.

But deep within her heart,

She knows

That scarce an hour before,

She helped him pray

That glory down,

Behind the closet door.

She’s heard him groaning –

In his soul

When bitter raged the strife,

As hand in hand she knelt

With him

For she’s the Pastor’s Wife!

You tell your tales

Of prophets brave

Who marched across the World

And changed the course of history

By burning words they hurled.

And I will tell how back of each

Some woman lived her life,

Who wept with him and smiled with him –

She was the Pastor’s Wife!
