Job, the story of a righteous man, tested by suffering, faithful to God.

There was a man who lived in Uz

Walked with God and feared His name

Seven sons and three daughters

Servants, flocks, and field of grain

Camels black across the morning

Oxen working in the sun

Every house and every blessing

Job knew where his life had come

Then a wind came from the desert

And a messenger came running

Then another, then another

Til the fourth one said the same

Fire fell, the raiders took them

Roof beams broke and crushed his own

Job stood up and tore his garment

Shaved his head and knelt alone

The Lord gave and the Lord taketh

Blessed be His holy name

In the ashes and the silence

Job would not curse and would not blame

He laid down in the dust and worshipped

With nothing left and no one near

The Lord gave and the Lord taketh

Blessed be His holy name

Then the sores came on his body

Head to foot and foot to head

Took a piece of broken pottery

Sat in ashes near the dead

And his wife came down beside him

Said now curse the Lord and die

Job said woman speak no folly

Take the bitter with the sweet

Three friends came across the country

Sat seven days without a word

Then they opened up their mouths

And spoke of things they hadn't heard

You have sinned, confess it Job now

God don't punish without cause

But the man inside the ashes

Would not lie to please their laws

The Lord gave and the Lord taketh

Blessed be His holy name

In the ashes and the silence

Job would not curse and would not blame

He laid down in the dust and worshipped

With nothing left and no one near

The Lord gave and the Lord taketh

Blessed be His holy name

And he said I know my Redeemer

I know that He lives

And though my flesh be wasted

With my eyes I'll see Him still

Though He slay me I will trust Him

Though I argue all my ways

Let the Almighty answer

Let Him come and let Him say

Then the whirlwind came down howling

And a voice came through the storm

Where were you when I laid the earth

Where were you when stars were born

Can you call the lightning down son

Can you tame the great Behemoth

Job lay down and put his hand

Across his mouth and held his breath

The Lord gave and the Lord taketh

Blessed be His holy name

And the man who would not curse Him

Saw his fortune come again

Twice the flocks and twice the cattle

Seven sons and daughters three

The Lord gave and the Lord taketh

Blessed be the Lord with me

Blessed be His holy name

Blessed be His holy name
