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. The book of jobe 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
