V
His face is set like a flint, eyes focused on a purpose
He means exactly what he says; he has no pretense
His roughhewn hands are mighty to battle adversity
And gentle to hold a child’s hand, or caress a woman
Equipped with integrity, he is the strength of the world
His reputation precedes him, well-known in God’s gates
He is distinguished by truth, honor, justice and mercy
By compassion for others his heroism is established
His stature measured by his righteous competence
Appointed leadership, he is the strength of the world
Though the world be wrought with troubles and fear
His courageous arms provide a fortress of security
His love inhabits his house, there is satisfaction
His effectual words of peace offer contentment
Endowed with wisdom, he is the strength of the world
Many men there are who violate covenants and order
Many are they who deceive with flattery and promises
Arrogant men flaunting themselves like crown jewels
Who creep like poison asps for to steal and to destroy
Presumptuous foxes, they are the blemish of the world
All the more necessity for men of godly discernment
Our husbands, fathers, brothers, sons and our friends
These men who stand tall with valiant comprehension
Who’s love is like a banner, like a seal upon our heads
Bedecked in majesty, they are the strength of the world
He means exactly what he says; he has no pretense
His roughhewn hands are mighty to battle adversity
And gentle to hold a child’s hand, or caress a woman
Equipped with integrity, he is the strength of the world
His reputation precedes him, well-known in God’s gates
He is distinguished by truth, honor, justice and mercy
By compassion for others his heroism is established
His stature measured by his righteous competence
Appointed leadership, he is the strength of the world
Though the world be wrought with troubles and fear
His courageous arms provide a fortress of security
His love inhabits his house, there is satisfaction
His effectual words of peace offer contentment
Endowed with wisdom, he is the strength of the world
Many men there are who violate covenants and order
Many are they who deceive with flattery and promises
Arrogant men flaunting themselves like crown jewels
Who creep like poison asps for to steal and to destroy
Presumptuous foxes, they are the blemish of the world
All the more necessity for men of godly discernment
Our husbands, fathers, brothers, sons and our friends
These men who stand tall with valiant comprehension
Who’s love is like a banner, like a seal upon our heads
Bedecked in majesty, they are the strength of the world
