A Man Named Job Lyrics

Once was a man with all the possessions that this world could hold
The fathers riches seemed to overflow but all he wanted was you.
A blameless man who feared God turned away from evil,
the greatest man this land had ever known but all he wanted was you.
The tempter came to try to set the Lord against his soul,
to strip away all that he'd ever owned, but all he wanted was you.
Yeah just you. Just you.
The servants come one by one to tell him all the news,
that everything has been lost, theres nothing left to you.
Knees to the ground, he rips his shirt and starts to shave his head.
Looks to the sky and then somehow he says
"All I need is you!"
Then boils come one by one, he's covered head to toe.
Among the ashes, still somehow he knows all I need is you.
"Curse God and die!" So she says but does she really know?
That shall we take good from God and not evil.
Not evil, from you.
His friends, they travel for days to give him counsel now.

But they don't know what they say, they only tear him down.
He starts to question their ways, it seems they've led him wrong.
But then he starts to complain, thats when we hear the sound.
"A voice that comes from the wind is here to question you.
And since you've tried to contend, I hope you hear the truth.
That all the wind, stars, and skies
The raising seas the waters rise,
you can't deny I'm the one that all this has come through.
Cause ill always be and I've always been
Wherever you've gone, I've been with you then.
Humble your heart, fall on your knees, trust in my ways when still you can't see
When i can't see, i trust you.
This man we know named as Job, he falls unto the ground
Covers his hand to his mouth so words won't utter out
"My God your wonderful ways, no man can understand.
So now ill give you my days, cause all i need is you."
