Lyrics
Verse 1
You've given me strength for the journey
Grace to rise with the dawn
Hands that build with purpose
A heart that carries on
I work with joy and gladness
In everything I do
Blessing flows through my household
And all I have from You
Chorus
More than rubies, worth beyond gold
A woman who fears the Lord
Clothed in dignity, clothed in grace
Walking in wisdom, running this race
Not by beauty, not by fame
But by honoring Your name
Forever I will be known
As a woman who fears the Lord
Verse 2
I rise and tend to my family
I speak with truth and love
Plans I make with vision
Led by You above
I open my hands to the needy
I laugh without fear of the days
With strength and with compassion
I live to give You praise
Chorus
More than rubies, worth beyond gold
A woman who fears the Lord
Clothed in dignity, clothed in grace
Walking in wisdom, running this race
Not by beauty, not by fame
But by honoring Your name
Forever I will be known
As a woman who fears the Lord
Bridge
Let my works speak louder than words
Let my light shine through this earth
All I am and all I do
Is for Your glory, Lord, it's true
Find a hold, more than rubies, worth beyond gold
Chorus
A woman who fears the Lord
Clothed in dignity, clothed in grace
Walking in wisdom, running this race
Not by beauty, not by fame
But by honoring Your name
Forever I will be known
As a woman who fears the Lord
Outro
Forever I will be known
As a woman who fears the Lord
Who fears the Lord
Thank You, Lord
For every breath I breathe
A woman who fears the Lord
Amen

Meaning & Inspiration
Proverbs 31 Woman is a song that draws on the portrait of the capable woman in Proverbs 31. The verses speak of strength for the work, rising with the dawn, building with purpose, blessing the household and tending to family with truth and love. The chorus says she is worth more than rubies and gold, clothed in dignity and grace, known for fearing the Lord rather than for beauty or fame.
The second verse adds openness to the needy, laughing without fear of the days, and living to give God praise, and the bridge asks that works speak louder than words and light shine for His glory. These lines follow Proverbs 31:10, 31:17-31 and Proverbs 31:30 and echo Matthew 5:16. The wording is simple and encouraging, and the repeated chorus reinforces its central theme of reverence for the Lord.
