Job Suite (His Story His Lament his God his Respon (The Way Of Wisdom Album Version) - Michael Card[00:00:00]
Blameless and upright a fearer of God[00:00:14]
A man truly righteous no pious facade[00:00:19]
One about whom God was accustomed to boast[00:00:25]
And so one whom Satan desired the most[00:00:31]
One day the accuser came breathing out lies[00:00:39]
"It's your holy handouts his faithfulness buys"[00:00:44]
In one desperate day his possessions were lost[00:00:51]
His children all killed in one raw holocaust[00:00:56]
His children all killed in one raw holocaust[00:01:02]
And yet through it all[00:01:10]
Through the tears and pain[00:01:12]
He worshipped his God[00:01:16]
Found no reason to blame[00:01:18]
Once the Deceiver denounced and decried[00:01:26]
"It's skin for skin and hide for hide [00:01:32]
Strike down his flesh and he'll surely deny[00:01:38]
And confess that his praying has all been a lie "[00:01:44]
"Very well take him " the Holy One sighed[00:01:52]
"But you must spare his life my son shall not die"[00:01:57]
So Job was afflicted with terrible sores[00:02:04]
Sat down in the ashes to wait for the Lord[00:02:09]
Sat down in the ashes to wait for the Lord[00:02:15]
And yet through it all[00:02:23]
Through the tears and pain[00:02:25]
He worshipped his God[00:02:29]
Found no reason to blame[00:02:32]
A throne of ashes[00:02:52]
A crown of pain[00:02:55]
A sovereign of sorrow[00:02:58]
A mournful reign[00:03:01]
May the day of my birth be remembered no more[00:03:09]
May darkness and shadow come and claim it once more[00:03:14]
Why did I not perish on that dreadful day[00:03:19]
And sleep now where kings and counselors lay [00:03:25]
What I dreaded most has now come upon me[00:03:34]
Why is light given those in misery [00:03:40]
I loathe my own life so my tears fall like rain[00:03:45]
As I find that there is no peace in my pain[00:03:50]
Lord send a Comforter now to my door[00:04:00]
So that this terror will frighten no more[00:04:05]
A Counselor between us to come hear my oath[00:04:10]
Someone who could lay a hand on us both[00:04:15]
These friends of mine are no comfort to me[00:04:30]
So deafly they listen so blindly they see[00:04:35]
Their words and their doctrine they all sound so true[00:04:41]
The problem is Lord they're all wrong about You [00:04:46]
I know my advocate waits upon high[00:04:55]
My Witness in heaven sees the tears that I cry[00:05:00]
A true intercessor who will condescend[00:05:06]
To plead with God as a man pleads for his friend[00:05:11]
If I've been unture if I've robbed the poor[00:05:26]
If I'm without guilt what am I suffering for [00:05:31]
God would not crush me for some secret sin[00:05:37]
And though He slay me still I'll trust in Him[00:05:42]
I know now that my Redeemer's alive[00:05:51]
He'll stand on this earth on the day He arrives[00:05:57]
And though my own body by then is no more[00:06:02]
Yet in my flesh I know I'll see the Lord[00:06:07]
I'll see the Lord I'll see the Lord[00:06:16]
Who is it that darkens my counsel [00:06:34]
Who speaks empty words without knowledge [00:06:40]
Brace yourself up like a man[00:06:46]
And answer me now if you can[00:06:51]
Can you put on glory and splendor [00:07:00]
What's the way to the home of the light [00:07:06]
Does your voice sound like the thunder [00:07:12]
Are you not afraid [00:07:17]
Where were you when earth's foundations were laid [00:07:20]
Who gave the heart its wisdom [00:07:30]
The mind its desire to know [00:07:35]
Can you bind the stars [00:07:40]
Raise your voice to the clouds [00:07:43]
Did you make the eagle proud [00:07:46]
Will the ox spend the night in your manger [00:08:00]
Did you let the wild donkey go free [00:08:05]
Can you take leviathan home as a pet [00:08:11]
If you merely touched him you'd never forget[00:08:16]
Who is it that darkens my counsel [00:08:26]
Who speaks empty words without knowledge [00:08:32]
Brace yourself up like a man[00:08:39]
And answer me now if you can[00:08:45]
I am unworthy how can I reply [00:09:01]
There's nothing that you cannot do[00:09:07]
You are the storm that calmed my soul[00:09:14]
I place my hand over my mouth[00:09:21]
I place my hand over my mouth[00:09:31]
