Lyrics
[Intro] [White silk veil fabric drape & gentle felt piano]
I Corinthians chapter eleven, verses one to sixteen.
Follow the example of Christ and keep the traditions as delivered.
[Verse 1] [Felt Piano & Fingerpicked Guitar]
Paul wrote to the church of God in ancient Corinth town
Establishing the holy order that the Lord passed down
The head of every man is Christ
the head of woman is the man
And the head of Christ is God in the eternal plan
When brothers pray or prophesy with heads uncovered bare
They honor their Creator in the holy house of prayer
And when the faithful sisters pray
with white veil on their head
They honor the commandment that the holy Scripture said
[Pre-Chorus] [Acoustic Guitar & Gentle String Quartet]
Because of the angels watching from the heavenly height
Walking in obedience in the Father's holy sight
[Chorus] [Reverent Apostolic Order Drop]
Keeping the apostolic order of the veil in the house of God
Following the sacred path the early Christians trod
Not by human culture, not by worldly fashion blind
But in the pure commandment that the Scriptures have defined
Walk in grace, keep the order, let the pure faith shine
Reflecting the harmony of the Creator divine!
[Verse 2] [Nylon Guitar & Contralto Lead]
In the Church of God we have no other custom known
Than what the Lord delivered from His holy throne
Both man and woman in the Lord united by His grace
Serving with humility inside the sacred space
[Bridge] [Soaring Vocal Harmony & Cello Solo]
Oh, obedience is better than all sacrifice of men
Walking in the truth of God again and yet again
Order, reverence, modesty and holy peace
Where the blessings of the Lord never have to cease
[Chorus] [Full Grand Reverent Climax]
Keeping the apostolic order of the veil in the house of God
Following the sacred path the early Christians trod
Not by human culture, not by worldly fashion blind
But in the pure commandment that the Scriptures have defined
Walk in grace, keep the order, let the pure faith shine
Reflecting the harmony of the Creator divine!
[Outro] [Silk Veil Rustle & Soft Organ Fading]
I Corinthians eleven, one to sixteen...
In the Church of God. Amen.
[Fade Out]
