ABOVE RUBIES
By Pearl Barrett

Growing boys want to eat all day
Wiping crumbs and the dishes won’t stay away
Baby cries, up by five
Won’t see the bed again till late at night
One wants a story, one needs a nap
Daddy’ll be home soon, the place is a wreck
And I wonder

Chorus:
What am I to You, all these little things I do
Do You notice, are they important in Your plan
And I can hear You say
She who fears the Lord is to be praised
And her worth is Above Rubies
You set a price for me-Above Rubies

I could have worn a business suit
Had a better life-but that’s not true
ABC’s and 123’s
Ring around the rosies, all fall down with glee
I know it’s simple, the world doesn’t see
I may not move  mountains in this ministry
Still I wonder
(Chorus)

Bridge:
Who can find a virtuous woman for her price is far Above Rubies
Her children will rise up and call her blessed, and her husband also.
