At the end of the lecture he played & sang a song he wrote about these people known as pastors' wives. They're really amazing.
Thank God for the Pastor’s Wife
© 2008 Michael Anthony Milton
You didn’t knowThe places you’d goOn the day when you said “I do”And you’ve traveled farTo be the person you areBut leaving is so hard to doYes leaving is so hard to doBut with grace and with poiseYou’ve withstood the noiseOf the woundedwho cry at your doorSeeking your husbandTo help them find GodIt seems like there’s always one more(Chorus)If there’s crowns on that dayAnd I have my sayI’ll plead that the Lord gives you mineFor when people heard meWhat they couldn’t seeWas the deepest part of my life“Thank God for the pastor’s wife”When I heard the callYou caught it allThe moving, the setting up newAnd when your husbandhears voicesThere’re few other choicesBut to pray that He’s hearing arightBut you walked by faith and not sight(Bridge)So many times you’vesuffered in silenceWhen some useyour husband in vainAnd few know the costsof following GodIn the desert, in the night, in the rainCovered dishes and circles and smiling through painFor others see a pastor,a prophet, a priestBut you see a husband, a dadBut the Lord heals you secretly and gives you the graceAnd I’ve seen you laugh in the night at the badSo I wrote this songAnd I won’t be longThough you deserve so much more‘Cause people can talk but you’ve walked the walkYou faithfully stood by the doorAnd nudged me to preach once more(Chorus)If there’s crowns on that day and I have my sayI’ll plead that the Lord gives you mineWhen people heard meWhat they couldn’t seeWas the deepest part of my lifeThank God for the pastor’s wifeNo, honey, let me say this, I’ll Thank God that you were my wife
(This song appears on the compact disc, Follow Your Call [Music For Missions, 2008).
