This charming woman

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing...

Only what is surrendered to Christ is lasting...

Grant me the inner beauty that grants you delight...
Help me walk by faith and not by sight.

This charming man Morrissey sang in the sun,

but that shy boy did not know the battle of Annie get your gun...

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing...

Only what is surrendered to Christ is lasting...

Being nice is nice but it's not gonna endure forever,

lip gloss perfume lotion and fall make up Spawned a Monster in November

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing...

Only what is surrendered to Christ is lasting...

There is one lovely woman written about who surpasses them all,

The scriptures never notates if she is dark-skinned, light eyes, small or tall

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing...

Only what is surrendered to Christ is lasting...

We deck ourselves out with a matching clutch or delicious little bag,

We wear designer clothes and pray that our figures don't sag...

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing...

Only what is surrendered to Christ is lasting...

He did not have a stitch to wear,

A good girl will speak eloquently she will not drink smoke or swear.

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing...

Only what is surrendered to Christ is lasting...

Good girls are described in Proverbs 31,

but Pretty Girls Make Graves, their ornate manicures and pedicures may be fun.

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing...

Only what is surrendered to Christ is lasting...

Hairspray, botox, mall shopping sprees...

Even the Goodwill shopper can't make it to heaven with ease;

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing...

Only what is surrendered to Christ is lasting...

Jesus knows His own, they are painted and saturated with red...

they would rather be linked to Christ than to be known as simply pleasant, sweet or well-read,

"she's so cute" 

"Oh thanks, I get that a lot"

All the compliments in the world will decay fester and rot.

He is the supreme love of this girl on this page,

She doesn't dabble in horoscopes, gossip or cleanse her home by burning sage.

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing...

Only what is surrendered to Christ is lasting...

She is pretty alright, more than all the typical gals who walk through the church doors,

To the world she is not attractive (but then again, neither was our LORD)

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing...

Only what is surrendered to Christ is lasting...

What is the point?

We have heard this over and over again.

Beethoven was Deaf and the Queen is now Dead

So go and Sing Your Life, I have heard that one too,

Here is my point I am desperately trying to impart to you.

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing...

Only what is surrendered to Christ is lasting...

Summer is here, fall winter and spring are done.

The hot days require extra beauty treatments wax, sunscreen, fresh bikinis from racks,

if you were born with a silver spoon, you'll go to Nordy's or Saks.

Yes being girly and feminine is fun, that's not the point at all.

A girl's value is not found in Vogue, Cover Girl, or some artsy pinterest wall;

A girl grows to a woman and she treasures the Lord Jesus, she adores Him most,

She lets the Sonshine and waves her hand in a circular rhthymn as she cruises the coast.

She lets her hair down and washes His feet with her hair,

She knows her true beauty is found with her Savior, her charm is hidden there.

Mary Magdalene, the supremely stunning woman with the issue of blood,

These are the heroes and role models to this girl I speak of.

Although beauty is passing and charm will fade too,

Our God's love makes her more beautiful so teach your daughters this Truth too.

He is my Husband 

He is My Maker

He is my Source, my Drink my daily Bread

I'll humble myself and look silly in this life, all for the One who once said:

"Leave her alone! This woman's worship is mine alone, it is sweeter than jasmine or rose"

So come along and let's learn from her gleaning from Proverbs (it's 31) line by line written in prose.

We don't need to hate her or feel like we fail because we don't sew with a needle and thread,

For Christ's blood is sufficient to adorn us now and always, to the very end. 

Thank you sweet lady, for displaying your beauty tucked in the Scripture with care,

I can't wait to meet you and I know my mother, grandmother and co-laborers will all see you there!
