Pearls in the Strand Lyrics

Pearls in the Strand

Tamar's husband died, then her second one did to,

Give her the third brother, is what Judah should do,

When in the end she bore a son of Judah's seed,

The lion of Messiah's line said, "she's more righteous than me".

Pearls within this strand,

Pearls within this strand,

In a necklace of rough wooden beads,

They are pearls within this strand,

Each of them was woven into God's eternal plan,

And now these women shine,,

As pearls within this strand.

Rahab confessed Israel's God as God of heaven earth,

She sheltered those who spied the land, When they came to her,

She turned her back on Jerico, and believing what God could do,

And she became part of the line, Messiah would come through.

Pearls within this strand,

Pearls within this strand,

In a necklace of rough wooden beads,

They are pearls within this strand,

Each of them was woven into God's eternal plan,

And now these women shine,,

As pearls within this strand.

Ruth went with Naomi, forsaking all she knew,

She took for herself Israel's God, and His people too,

As Obed saw her loyalty, and knew that she was fine,

So God wove this precious pearl into Messiah's line,

Pearls within this strand,

Pearls within this strand,

In a necklace of rough wooden beads,

They are pearls within this strand,

Each of them was woven into God's eternal plan,

And now these women shine,,

As pearls within this strand.

Bathsheba was stolen from Urriah, by Jesse's son,

She bore a king for Israel know for his great wisdom,

Though that line would topple, like a fallen tree,

From that stump would come a shoot, wiser than he.

Pearls within this strand,

Pearls within this strand,

In a necklace of rough wooden beads,

They are pearls within this strand,

Each of them was woven into God's eternal plan,

And now these women shine,,

As pearls within this strand.

Mary was a maiden and the handmaid of the Lord,

She submitted to a difficult and challenging word,

And it caused great scandal, though it would bring her pain,

This virgin girl bore a son, and Jesus was His Name

Pearls within this strand,

Pearls within this strand,

In a necklace of rough wooden beads,

They are pearls within this strand,

Each of them was woven into God's eternal plan,

And now these women shine,,

As pearls within this strand.
