Job Suite
Lyricist:Michael Card
Blameless and upright, a fearer of God A man truly righteous, no pious façade One about whom God was accustomed to boast And so one whom Satan desired the most
One day the accuser came breathing out lies It's you, holy handouts his faithfulness buys In one desperate day his possessions were lost His children all killed in one raw holocaust His children all killed in one raw holocaust
And yet through it all, through the tears and pain He worshiped his God, found no reason to blame
Once more the Deceiver denounced and decried It's skin for skin and hide for hide Strike down his flesh and he'll surely deny And confess that his praying has all been a lie
Very well, take him, the Holy One sighed But you must spare his life, my son shall not die So Job was afflicted with terrible sores Sat down in the ashes to wait for the Lord Sat down in the ashes to wait for the Lord
And yet through it all, through the tears and pain He worshiped his God, found no reason to blame A throne of ashes, a crown of pain A sovereign of sorrow, a mournful reign
May the day of my birth be remembered no more May darkness and shadow come claim it once more Why did I not perish on that dreadful day And sleep now where kings and counselors lay?
What I dreaded most has now come upon me Why is light giver those in misery? I loathe my own life so my tears fall like rain As I find that there is no peace in my pain
Lord, send a comforter now to my door So that this terror will frighten no more A counselor between us to come hear my oath Someone who could lay a hand on us both
These friends of mine are no comfort to me So deafly they listen so blindly they see Their words and their doctrine they all sound so true Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The problem is Lord, they're all wrong about you!
I know my advocate waits upon high My witness in heaven sees the tears that I cry A true intercessor who will condescend To plead with God as a man pleads for his friend
If I've been untrue, if I've robbed the poor If I'm without guilt, what am I suffering for? God would not crush me for some secret sin And though he slay me still I'll trust in Him
I know now that my Redeemer's alive He'll stand on the earth on the day he arrives And though my body by then is no more Yet in my flesh I know I'll see the Lord
Who is it who darkens my council Who speaks empty words without knowledge? Brace yourself up like a man And answer me now if you can
Can you put on glory and splendor? What's the way to the home of the light? Does your voice sound like the thunder? Are you afraid? Where were you when earth's foundations were laid?
Who gave the heart it's wisdom? The mind it's desire to know? Can you bind the stars? Raise your voice to the clouds? Did you make the eagle proud?
Will the ox spend the night by your manger? Did you let the wild donkey go free? Can you take leviathan home as a pet? If you merely touched him, you'd never forget
Who is it that darkens my council? Who speaks empty words without knowledge? Brace yourself up like a man And answer me now if you can
I am unworthy, how can I reply? There's nothing that you cannot do You are the storm that calmed my soul I place my hand over my mouth I place my hand over my mouth
