Far Above Rubies/More Precious Than Gold

Author Unknown (Forwarded by Leslie Bouldes lesliecb@umich.edu.)

The first poem is for women and the second for men.  Each poem will bless you so read both.

----------

Far Above Rubies

How could I define my price?

In cars, in stars, in the house on the hill?

In diamonds, in fame, in expensive thrill?

No dear sweet one, I'm worth more than that.

I have a price that was paid by the Lord.

I have a price that you can't afford.

 

Can you buy my dear heart,

Oh so gentle and tender,

Through soft whispers in the midnight?

Do you hope steak, McDonalds, or more,

Will end in us looking up at daylight?

See I was created for far more than sex,

I'm a vessel of God's glory.

When you look into Him, what do you see?

Now see my heart, His reflection in me.

See I have a price that you can't afford.

I have a price that was paid by the Lord.

 

More Precious than Gold

If you look to our marriage, and all that you see,

Is one night of passionate kisses.

Then you truly miss the real beauty in me.

The honor of me being your Mrs.

You'll miss the comfort I will display,

When the world will try to surround you.

You'll miss my ability to ease stress away,

With the soothingness of my touch.

You'll miss the Love within my heart,

Be blind to my devotion to serve you.

You'll miss the fact that I dedicate my live,

To totally, and completely loving you.

Don't look to me as one passionate night,

But see me as made of our Father.

May your eyes be opened in true delight,

Seeing I have a price that most can't afford,

But that price has been paid by the Lord.

 

Now knowing the honor that this vessel holds,

A carrier of God's Holy Spirit, His Love,

Knowing how precious my life is,

That God would send His Son's blood,

To purchase a gift as special as this.

A help meet to submit to your heart's desire.

Flesh of your flesh, molded as clay,

Then perfected within the Refiner's Fire.

All to stand before you a gift,

Deserved by a king of our Lord.

Earned by the blood of Jesus Christ,

A gift you don't have to afford.

Predestined before all creation,

To assist someone as faithful as you.

To give you my heart, life, understanding,

To believe every word from your mouth as true.

I am a gift you don't have to afford,

One of your rewards for serving the Lord.
