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
