A Man Named Job Lyrics by Ryan Proudfoot

Ryan Proudfoot

2014

[Verse 1]
Once was a man with all the possessions that this world could hold
The Father's 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
[Verse 2]
The servants come one by one to tell him all the news
That everything has been lost, there's 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
[Verse 3]
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, that's 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 ragin' seas, the waters rise
You can't deny I'm the one that all this has come through
'Cause I'll 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
[Verse 4]
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 I'll give you my days, cause all I need is you"
