Job and I

Job fought with the devil but he didn’t know why
The experience was so traumatic that Job wanted to die
I’m fighting with the devil and I look him in the face
The experience is traumatic but I know I’m safe

Job lost his children and his way of life
His joy was replaced with misery and strife
My son is living yet his soul is lost
My joy is ever challenged yet I must maintain it at any cost

Job’s body was afflicted and consumed with pain
His wife was accused of being insane
I fought cancer and the agony it brought
My wife has abandoned me is what I thought

Job’s friends were cruel in what they had to say
It must have been sin that put Job where he lay
Not a many friend to my bed side came
Did they to, on me blame?

Job in the end realized his mistake
After he heard the situation from the Lord’s take
I searched within for some sin I had done
This is not about you but the Holy! One (God Speaking)

Job was restored when God said so
God made the devil leave, take flight and go
I have been healed by the miracle of the Lord
Jesus, the Bible and I on one accord
