In Front | Michael Card’s “Job Suite” Part 2

Below you’ll find the lyrics of the song you just listened to: 

Job Suite, Michael Card

Blameless and upright, a fearer of God,
A man truly righteous, no pious façade:
One about whom God was accustomed to boast,
And so one whom Satan desired the most.

One day the accuser came breathing out lies:
“It’s Your holy handouts, his faithfulness buys.”
In one desperate day his possessions were lost,
His children all killed in one raw holocaust.
His children all killed in one raw holocaust.

And yet through it all, through the tears and pain,
He worshiped his God, found no reason to blame.

Once more the Deceiver denounced and decried,
“It’s skin for skin and hide for hide!
Strike down his flesh and he’ll surely deny,
And confess that his praying has all been a lie.”

“Very well, take him,” the Holy One sighed,
“But you must spare his life; my son shall not die.”
So Job was afflicted with terrible sores,
Sat down in the ashes to wait for the Lord.
Sat down in the ashes to wait for the Lord.

And yet through it all, through the tears and pain,
He worshiped his God, found no reason to blame ….
