Loving Each Other

Ephesians 5:21-26

Submit to one another in the fear of God,
Support each other where you are flawed;
Wives unto your husbands are to submit,
He's family head for to keep his candle lit;
Even as the head of the church is Christ,
He saves the body from being enticed;
As Christ is to the church same for wives,
Supporting husbands through their lives;
As for husbands show wives your love,
Just as Christ did for the church above.
Marriage is your sacrificial devotion,
That is filled with a unity in emotion;
Between a husband and wife a bond,
That to each other they correspond;
Meeting each other's natural needs,
Sacrificing self so the other succeeds;
Much the same what Christ has done,
Sacrificing for the church as God's Son;
Just as Christ loved as to give his life,
A husband shows his love to his wife.
