SONG OF JOB


 N a r r a t i v e:
Satan went to God and God said, "Satan where you been?"
Satan said, "I been on earth among men"
God said, "well, you must have seen my faithful servant Job
You must have seen his worth
And how he's evil's foe"
Job is evil's foe.

Satan said, "well yes God, Job is your man
But if you struck him, God, well, what would he do then?
He'd turn his back on you and curse your name to your face."
God said, "Allright Bub,
Go and test his faith ---
Go and try Job's faith."

"O my God, O my God" cried poor Job,
"I have lost everything I owned
I lost my cattle, I lost my land
You took my children too
I'm losin' my mind and the love of my wife
But I keep my faith in You
I still have faith in You."

"O my God, O my God, can't You hear Job?
This world can no more be my home
My so-called friends speak biting words
Telling me what to do
My health is gone and I cannot rest
But I keep my faith in You
I still have faith in You."

 N a r r a t i v e:
That young man lectured Job until Job's poor heart near broke
And from a whirlin' wind God Himself spoke
Sayin' "who're these who claim to know my workings and all my ways?
Job has proved his faith
And shall live joyous days."
Job lived joyful days
