[Intro] There was a man in the land of Uz, his name was Job, known and loved. Upright, faithful, still standing, blameless in the fear of God. [Verse] He feared the Lord, turned from evil, held his ground before his God. Then came loss and raging fire, everything his hands could hold was gone. [Pre-Chorus] When the night took everything, Job fell down upon the earth— dust and ashes on his skin, still his faith remained in every word. [Chorus] The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away— through the darkness still I say: Blessed, blessed, blessed be the name of the Lord. [Verse 2] Naked came I from my mother’s womb, naked shall I one day return. Gold disappears, houses crumble, all the things we build can break and burn. Still he held his integrity, even when the pain kept pleading more. [Break] You can touch the house, you can touch the gold, you can shake the body— but you cannot buy the soul. [Build] Bass, bass, faith, faith, stand, stand, let the thunder roll. [Final Chorus] The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. High or low, come what may— blessed be the name of the Lord. Ash on my skin, fire in my soul— you may take what I possess, but you cannot buy the soul. [Outro] Naked I came, naked I go, the Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away— blessed be the name of the Lord.
