The Ballad of Job
(Taken from the book of Job)
Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Job
A righteous man, and the richest on the globe
Then one day, just to test Job's faith
God allowed Satan to take it all away
Flocks, that is, all his servants, his children too.
Well the next thing you know, Job was tempted to deny
Kinfolk said, "Job, curse God and die!"
Said, "Only sinners get this kind of grief!"
But he stood fast and he held onto his belief
"The Lord gives, the Lord takes away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord!"
Now it's time to say goodbye to Job and all his pain
Even all that trouble wouldn't make him curse God's name
And then the Lord gave him more children for posterity
And then a heapin' helpin' of his old prosperity.
Riches, that is. God is faithful.
Whatever happens, y'all praise God now, hear?
