The man is the head of the home
But that doesn’t make him boss,
If there are any bosses in the home
That home is experiencing loss.
The man is head of the woman
Even as Jesus is head of the Church,
But this has been misinterpreted
By many a so-called expert.
“He can’t be no head over me,
He must first earn it.”
Yes, that is coming from a Christian,
That is her edict.
The headship of the woman
Is not what a man can merit
But that authority comes from Almighty God
Who takes all the credit.
“I am the boss in here
And I can do whatever I like.”
Yes, that too is coming from a Christian
But he has no such right.
Search the Bible all through
And you won’t find the word boss,
Some may argue not the actual word
But in that too they have lost.
There is no boss in the family
And being boss doesn’t make a man,
And in any case as we have seen
Boss is not akin to God’s plan.
Male and female he made them both
To walk with hand in hand,
He is the head to take care of her
And together they execute God’s plan.
That is, raising up godly seed-
The mission of them both
And filling the earth with the love of God
From coast to coast.
She was taken from his side
To walk alongside,
Never ahead of him or behind him
Or for him to despise.
No boss in the family
I must repeat,
Just a head as God designated
And the head’s helpmeet.
As a body without a head is useless
So is a head without a body,
And when a head becomes a boss
That’s the recipe for anarchy.
