Job Suite: His Story, His Lament, His God, His Response - Michael Card
Blameless and upright a fearer of God A man truly righteous no pious facade 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'syour 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 worshipped his God Found no reason to blame Once the Deceiver denounced and decried "It'sskin for skin and hide for hide Strike down his flesh and he'llsurely deny And confess that his praying has all been a lie ""Verywell take him "the Holy One sighed "Butyou 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 worshipped 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 and 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 given 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 The problem is Lord they'reall 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'vebeen unture if I'verobbed the poor If I'mwithout guilt what am I suffering for God would not crush me for some secret sin And though He slay me still I'lltrust in Him I know now that my Redeemer'salive He'llstand on this earth on the day He arrives And though my own body by then is no more Yet in my flesh I know I'llsee the Lord I'llsee the Lord I'llsee the Lord Who is it that darkens my counsel 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'sthe way to the home of the light Does your voice sound like the thunder Are you not afraid Where were you when earth'sfoundations were laid Who gave the heart its wisdom The mind its 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 in your manger Did you let the wild donkey go free Can you take leviathan home as a pet If you merely touched him you'dnever forget Who is it that darkens my counsel 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'snothing 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 Guitar score
