“Like Job of Old”

All hell itself
breaking loose,
it`s do or die
we must choose
to stand our ground
and not back down,
accepting what the Lord allows,
knowing only good will come somehow;
and like Job of old
we do say,
“Our hope`s in Him
though He may slay.”
Yea, despite much darkness
a Light has shown:
“Our redeemer lives,
He`s on the throne”

  “Words of Life”
 
  You clothe me in shame,
 dishonor my name,
 deny my desires,
 quench my smoldering fires...
 You leave me for dead,
 place thorns on my head.
 You put me in prison  
 and seem not to listen.
 You allow me to rotten,
 lonely and forgotten.
 You give me no friends
 and make me depend
 on those around me,  
 who just condescend.
 
  Surely, my sins indeed You can see,
 but do You still bend down to hear my pleas?
 Yet one thing, I do know,
 I, to another can not go,
 For despite all the suffering  
 and pain in this life,
 You alone have the words of  
 eternal life !
