In the crucible of pain, my spirit refines,
Tested by flames, where true strength entwines. Though the fire burns, and shadows descend,
My faith unyielding, until the very end.
In dust and ashes, I lament and mourn,
Stripped of all, my spirit feels forlorn.
Loss surrounds me, a heavy, somber shroud,
Yet in humility, my head is bowed.
Why me, oh Lord? I cry into the night,
Why this burden, this endless plight?
In silent anguish, my questions rise,
Seeking solace in Your starlit skies.
I roam the earth, a shadow in the light
Twisting faith, and turning day to night.
I whisper doubts, and sow seeds of despair,
Testing the loyal, with snares beyond compare.
From the heart of the storm, Your voice resounds,
In the whirlwind's dance, Your power abounds.
Who am I to question Your grand design?
In awe and wonder, I know Your might is mine.
Though darkness lingers, and trials may test,
I know my Redeemer lives, I am blessed.
With unwavering faith, I hold on tight,
For in His promise, there is eternal light.
Like Job of old, I wait with steadfast heart,
Through trials endured, a brand new start.
In patience, I find strength to carry on,
Trusting in hope, until the break of dawn.
In times of sorrow, false comfort they bring,
The counsel of the ungodly, a deceptive thing.
Their words like poison, twisting truth and grace,
Leading astray, from God's loving embrace.

Dust in my mouth dirt on my skin
The storm rolls in I can't outrun sin
My house fell down my riches blew away
Friends point fingers but they don't stay
Ashes on my head i wear the crown
The king of nothing my throne broke down
Why me I scream at the empty sky
No answer no echo just the question why
The accuser laughs his voice like stone
You're all alone your faith is on loan
He whispers lies that sting like bees
I fight the swarm but it brings me to my knees
Sores on my hands scars on my soul
Every loss leaves a deeper hole
But still I stand still I breathe
Still I believe in what I can't see
Strip me bare take my name
I'm still here I'm not the same
Trial by fire burn me clean
Through the ashes I'm unseen
Dust to dust I rise I fall
Who will catch me when I lose it all
The book of Jobe
Out the dust comes a voice so loud
Whirlwind spinning tearing the clouds
Questions thunder lightning breaks
Who set the oceans who drew the lakes
Stars align but they don't compare
To the God that answers in the air
I can't see but I feel Him near
Through the storm His power is clear
Lost my house lost my pride
Friends sat down then they lied
Counsel of fools whispers so grim
But they can't see the fire within
Patience ain't passive it's war in the soul
Waiting for the dawn when He makes me whole
The storm's not quiet but my heart won't break
Even in silence I feel the quake
My Redeemer lives I stand I know
Even in the ashes let the truth show
The whirlwind speaks and I bow low
My Redeemer lives let the whole world know
The book of Jobe
