I want to be like Job

elegant wind instruments, male vocals, overcoming theme, 12 string guitar throughout

(Verse 1)
In the land of Uz, a man named Job did thrive, blameless and upright, he kept his faith alive.
But in the heavens, Satan made his claim, challenging God's servant, putting him to shame.
"He's righteous for gain," the accuser boldly said, "Take all he has, and watch his faith lie dead."
God gave leave, but spared Job's precious soul, to test his spirit and see if he'd stay whole.
(Chorus)
When the waters rise and I'm left hurting in my life, I remember Job and push away the strife.
For God will redeem me, with His love so true, and double His blessings in all that I do.
Be a Job theme, in every single test, trust in the Lord, and He will do the rest.
(Verse 2)
The losses came fast, like a storm in the night:
The Sabeans struck, his oxen took their flight.
Then fire from the sky, the sheep and servants burned, a messenger arrived with news concerning what he'd learned.
Chaldenas raided camels, his wealth all swept away, then the cruelest blow, on that dark and tragic day:
A great wind collapsed the house where his children dined, leaving empty chairs and sorrow left behind.
(Chorus)
When the waters rise and I'm left hurting in my life, I remember Job and push away the strife.
For God will redeem me, with His love so true, and double His blessings in all that I do.
Be a Job theme, in every single test, trust in the Lord, and He will do the rest.
(Verse 3)
He tore his robe, in ashes took his seat, but in all this suffering, Job did not retreat.
Then came his friends, with words like stinging darts, Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar, breaking faithful hearts.
They blamed his sin, a cause for every pain, "Confess, repent," they'd say again, again.
But Job held firm, through boils and agony, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him," he'd decree.
(Chorus)
When the waters rise and I'm left hurting in my life, I remember Job and push away the strife.
For God will redeem me, with His love so true, and double His blessings in all that I do.
Be a Job theme, in every single test, trust in the Lord, and He will do the rest.
(Bridge)
God watched the scene, His complex wisdom unfolding clear, allowing pain to test the faith that conquers fear.
The undeserved suffering, a lesson for us all, that even righteous souls can stand before the fall.
Perseverance is key, in sorrow and despair, knowing God's timing is beyond compare.
(Chorus)
When the waters rise and I'm left hurting in my life, I remember Job and push away the strife.
For God will redeem me, with His love so true, and double His blessings in all that I do.
Be a Job theme, in every single test, trust in the Lord, and He will do the rest.
(Outro)
In the end, the Lord restored all Job had lost, with double the blessings, despite the heavy cost.
Seven new sons, and daughters fair to see, more livestock and riches, for all eternity.
So hold to this truth, in a world of complex design, God's love and redemption, forever will be thine.
Be a Job theme, in your life today, God will redeem you, come what may!
