Verse 1


She's not your typical girl

Sixteen years old and she's dead to the world

Faith by her lifestyle demonstrated

because the gospel penetrated and now she's regenerated

Her Master is greater than fashions and flavors

She patterns her behavior after the Savior

Back in the days you would have seen her standing in the mirror

Yeah, her skin was clear, but her vanity was clearer

Now she's in the Scriptures and wants to be like

Hannah and Sarah rather than Christina Aguilera

Wordly girls imitate Missy Elliot

But she wants to be like Elisabeth Eliot

Not flexing her body, see she dresses with modesty

She's not perfect- she confesses sin honestly

Christ crucified! That's her permanent shout
And by the grace of the Lord, she's working it out


Chorus

You running hard for the King'

I know that's right!

Is Jesus your everything'

I know that's right!

Did He really make all things new'

No doubt!

By His grace, whatcha gonna do'
Work it out!

Verse 2


She's not your normal wife

She's twenty-four and Christ is the Lord of her life

Her walk is evidence that she trusts in God

And it feels so good to be justified

And no, she doesn't have a Master's in Divinity

But what she does have is a passion for the Trinity

When she recalls her previous prodigal seasons

And how at times she could be the loudest of heathens

She praises God for making this former feminist

submit to her husband for theological reasons

Worldly wives watch Oprah to learn to be a lady

But she's reading the writings of Carolyn Mahaney

And she would never disrespect her husband in public

And if she does it, she repents- I love it!

Christ crucified! That's her permanent shout
And by the grace of the Lord, she's working it out


Chorus

You running hard for the King'

I know that's right!

Is Jesus your everything'

I know that's right!

Did He really make all things new'

No doubt!

By His grace, whatcha gonna do'
Work it out!

Verse 3


She's not your usual mother

{ahem} years old and she's true to the lover

of her soul, she beholds the cross where He copped it

Once was agnostic, now she's adopted

Her passion grows greater as she beholds him

Job title: homemaker/ theologian

Early in her walk, she would fight against His will then

The Lord used her marriage and the Bible to reveal sin

Now she fights to kill sin and her greatest joy is

serving her husband as she's discipling her children

While worldly mothers stress shopping for the new style

She's pouring into younger women Titus 2 style

Teaching others how to rightly see brothers and be mothers

And most of all better Jesus lovers

Christ crucified! That's her permanent shout
And by the grace of the Lord, she's working it out


Chorus

You running hard for the King'

I know that's right!

Is Jesus your everything'

I know that's right!

Did He really make all things new'

No doubt!

By His grace, whatcha gonna do'
Work it out! (4x)
