Rusty Bolt (Original Song 2018) by Paul Haynes

I wrote this song based on the struggles in marriage and what the Lord requires husbands to do about it. The analogy of oil to loosen rusted bolts came to me and the song followed.

Verse 1
When your marriage is stuck - like a rusty bolt
Your wife doesn't love you in the way - you think she should.
It's stuck like a rusty bolt:
You've said everything - till ya blue in the face
You've gone round in circles trying - you just can't communicate.
It's stuck like a rusty bolt:

Verse 2
So what do you do - when it's jammed and seized
All your strength has gone as you've tried - to make it free
It's stuck like a rusty bolt:
If you push too hard - it may break in two
You need to take great care and be gentle - in what you do
It's stuck like a rusty bolt:

CHORUS
Love your Wife - like penetrating oil
Soak her in your love - every day
As it penetrates - to the hardest place
Wait for your breakthrough - and pray for grace
Love your Wife - like penetrating oil

Verse 3
To penetrate - to have break through
You must use thin oil or else - it will fail
To reach that rusty bolt:
You must keep it light - if you want a chance
To see the oil of love create - the perfect dance
To reach that rusty bolt:

Verse 4
Once the bolt is free - now use thicker oil
This will keep the bolt from rusting and - move with ease
You don't want another rusty bolt:
Date your wife with love - regular-ly
Build her up with praise and speak - to her tender-ly
You don't want another rusty bolt:
