about

Husbands and Wives comes from Ephesians 5:22-33

"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, because we are members of His body.

For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband."

lyrics

Christ is the Head of the body,
His body, the church, is His bride
Selfless and humble, she gladly submits,
Lovingly faithful to Christ
Christ gave His life as a ransom
The church is redeemed by His blood
Selfless and humble, forsaking Himself
In sacrifice for her good

Husbands should lay down their lives for their wives
As Christ gave His life for His bride
Wives serve and honor your husbands in love
This is the command of God

Christ loves the church without measure
And treasures His bride evermore
Washing and cleansing His bride with His Word
Presenting her holy and pure
Christ is now joined with His body
The two become one without end
Eternally married forever to Christ
The bride will abide in the Lamb

Husbands should love and should cherish their wives
As Christ glorifies His own bride
Wives serve and honor your husbands in love
This is the command of God
