JOB

  

Job

In Uz there lived a blameless man

Job walked with God in all he ran

With wealth & children life was fair

He honored God with constant prayer

But Satan came with bold request

To test his faith through trial & test

The Lord allowed the storm to blow

To prove Job’s heart was true below

His herds were gone his children died

His body struck with boils worldwide

His friends arrived with words unkind

They claimed his guilt had caused his bind

Yet Job held fast though deep in pain

He questioned God but not in vain

He longed for truth he sought His face

He yearned to see redeeming grace

His friends accused with speeches long

But their rebuke was harsh & wrong

They said repent confess your sin

Yet Job declared his hands were clean

Elihu spoke with fire anew

Proclaiming God is wise & true

He shows His might in thunder’s call

Yet cares for men both great & small

Then God appeared in whirlwind’s roar

He asked of Job from shore to shore

Where were you when I shaped the seas

Or set the bounds of skies & trees

Humbled low Job bowed his head

He knew God’s wisdom far ahead

He found his place in dust & ground

Yet mercy vast for him was found

The Lord restored his life once more

Twice the riches as before

His family blessed his years were long

His faith refined his heart made strong

Thus Job reveals through trial & pain

God’s purposes are not in vain

Through storms we learn His ways above

& rest secure in endless love
