The bible tells me I was made for and from man
And I must do for him everything that I can
I must surrender to his will, yeah I must submit
I canât make the household decisions coz I am unfit
It tells me my place
With ever-lasting grace
The bible tells me I must be silent you canât hear my voice
My role has been divinely defined and I have no other choice
I may not be a teacher of man, I must cover up my shame
These are the laws of the one who in vain I cannot name
He tells me my place
With ever-lasting grace
And my punishment for wanting to learn
Is a painful birth from which I may not return
The bible tells me that I am unclean
I am impure you cannot touch me and it has nothing to do with where Iâve been
It is part of who I am, It is because I corrupt man
I was asking for it just by being a woman
He tells me my place
With ever-lasting grace
And my punishment for wanting to learn
Is a painful birth from which I may not return
The bible tells me I was made for and from man
And I must do for him everything that I can
I must surrender to his will, yeah I must submit
I canât make the household decisions coz I am unfit
It tells me my place
With ever-lasting grace
