A Godly Husband

A Godly Husband

I pray for a husband

Who is chosen by Your hand,

One who honors his Creator

And follows the leading of his Saviour.



Give me a man following God’s will

He is so much more a thrill,

Than a man filled with his own thought

So easily led and so cheaply bought.



Father God, if it is Your will,

May I have a husband still?

Only if he is in Your plan

Otherwise single will I stand.



A man who rejoices in the love of God

To him only will I give the nod.

With the Holy Spirit must he be filled

And earthly desires simply be stilled.



I want a man who longs for You more

Not one who is Holy Spirit-poor.

One who longs to do Your work

On the narrow path he steps at the fork.



Father God, if it is Your will,

May I have a husband still?

Only if he is in Your plan

Otherwise single will I stand.



Few men choose based on right

Many choose based on sight.

May he weigh carefully each thought

Having persevered and been well taught.



I pray he reflect Jesus his Lord

On eagles wings may he have soared.

Not perfection but forgiveness his aim

Having made mistakes but casting not blame



Father God, if it is Your will,

May I have a husband still?

Only if he is in Your plan

Otherwise single will I stand.



To him this world need be muted,

And in the Word must he be rooted

I pray him faith in You a-growing

And his sins he not be towing.



I’d love for a man to love me

The way you intended it to be.

And for me to love him,

Sincerely, without the deceit of sin.



Father God, if it is Your will,

May I have a husband still?

Only if he is in Your plan

Otherwise single will I stand.
