Covered Head
What means this the woman's Covered head?
is she of men or of Spirit led?
Why should she thus conceal her glory?
There must in this be found some story
It begins when Eve dared touch that tree
And thus change the course of history
She doubted what the Lord had said
And soon the earth received her dead
She failed to bow to
God's word of truth
And she chose sin and so sin took root
She chose instead to believe the
lie
And thus the whole world would learn to cry
Now God would have to undo the deed
His Son on the cross would die and bleed
and rise
again to be both Lord and head
and soon judge the living and the dead
Now as faith's daughters today draw near
they humbly bow and with covered
hair
Speak in silence with that simple
token
of God's Word that must not be broken
without a word she tells a story
of Christ who is her head and glory.
