I was listening to the latest episode of The Patriarchy Podcast on CrossPolitic.com (Ep. 20: Social Justice is Poison) and towards the end they played this great country ballad style song called "The Glory of the Man". I searched the episode notes and found a link to the full song on YouTube:

I love the catchy tune and the biblical message. I'll definitely be sharing this with my kids!

Here are the lyrics:

The Glory of the Man  [Verse 1] When God put Adam in the garden And brought him all the animals to name He said, O Lord I need to beg your pardon For each has found another that's the same. But I am all alone and     have no one to share my home with and         I'm feeling awful sad and kind of blue. So God took Adam's rib and      then he closed back up the skin and         said: I've made a helper suitable for you...  [Chorus] Man's not the glory of the woman; The woman is the glory of the man. Both were made to give their Maker glory And by being who He wants they surely can Men and women aren't the same     if they were it'd be a shame         I know it can be hard to understand but Man's not the glory of the woman; The woman is the glory of the man.  [Verse 2] You should've seen the man's reaction When at first he saw the woman's form If you say there was attraction Well you've only hardly started getting warm Adam didn't want another for     he knew he'd met the mother of         every person that would ever be. And ever since that time     a man has left his home behind         and with a woman made a brand new family...  [Chorus]  [Verse 3] Ever since the days of Eve and Adam Man has had to work to till the ground And if there was a baby, woman had him No other baby-bearers could be found And in our Father's story      man was made to give God glory         and his wife was meant to be his helper fair. So any way you measure, friend,     a woman is a treasure and         that's why she's got that long and flowing beautiful mind-blowing hair.  Sing it kids!  [Chorus (kids)] [Chorus (all)]
