Though He May Still Slay Me
Job
In the court above the dust of earth, one righteous man was named before the throne.
Accused ain't guilty, tested ain't forsaken.
Heaven heard the charge, but heaven wasn't shaken.
Accused ain't guilty, tried but not abandoned.
The fire may touch the field, but God still holds the standard
No, no, the throne still stands
No, no, his name is in his hands
There came a day before the Lord
When sons of heaven stood
And from the shadow came a voice
To question what was good
Have you not hedged him all around
And blessed his house with gain
But stretch your hand upon his life
And he will curse your name
But the judge of all the earth
Was not moved by the lie
The accuser brought his case
But he could not decide
Accused ain't guilty, tested ain't forsaken
Heaven heard the charge, but heaven wasn't shaken
Accused ain't guilty, tried but not abandoned
The fire may touch the field, but God still holds the standard
No, no, the throne still stands
No, no, his name is in his hands
The oxen fell, the servants cried
The fire came down like rain
The wind rose up against the house
And grief called out his name
He tore his robe and bowed down low
With ashes on his head
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken
Blessed be the Lord, he said
The earth can lose its song
The night can steal the breath
But worship in the ashes is a witness over death
Accused ain't guilty, tested ain't forsaken
Heaven heard the charge, but heaven wasn't shaken
Accused ain't guilty, tried but not abandoned
The fire may touch the field, but God still holds the standard
No, no, the throne still stands
No, no, his name is in his hands
No, no, no, the lie won't reign
No, no, no, the Lord knows his name
No, no, no, the Lord knows his name
Though the skin may break
Though the friends may blame
Though the night ask why
And the mouth takes flame
Though the silence sits like a stone on the chest
The Lord sees the trial, the Lord knows the test
Not every wound is judgment, not every loss is shame
Not every voice that names you
Has the right to seal your name
Who can condemn when the Lord has seen?
Who can accuse what God calls clean?
Who hauls the dust?
Who marks the breath, who speaks from the whirlwind
Over life and death
Accused ain't guilty, tested ain't forsaken
Heaven heard the charge, but heaven wasn't shaken
Accused ain't guilty, tried but not abandoned
The fire may touch the field, but God still holds the standard
Saying guilty, broken and forgotten
The grave may hear the rumor
But the throne has not forgotten
No, no, no, the throne still stands
No, no, his name is in his hands
No, no, no, the lie won't reign
No, no, no, the Lord knows his name
The Lord knows his name
Accused ain't guilty, tested ain't forsaken
Heaven heard the charge, but heaven wasn't shaken
