Like Job I Still Believe - Mikhail Bennett
The chair beside me gathers dust
A voice is carried by the wind
The laughter that once filled this house
Is only in these walls again
My children found their distant roads
And sirens learned to call my name
One by one this world kept taking
Till nothing here remained
I asked you Lord the way Joe did
Why has this cup become my own
Yet even in the darkest valley
I found I wasn't alone
Like Job I stood alone
With asked just where my dreams had been
The storm took everything I loved
But couldn't steal my faith when
I lost the hands I used to hold
The voices I called on
The world saw one abandoned man
But I have them saw its own
There were nights I almost questioned
If you still heard this broken prayer
Every tear that fell unnoticed
Was already in your care
I learned that faith is not the side lines
But trusting through the longest night
Believing when no answer comes
That you are still the light
Job said
I know that my Redeemer lives
So I'll keep singing through these tears
Until my faith becomes my sight
I told I stood alone
And he ever truly bow myself
When everything is love could break
Lay scattered on the ground
Your mercy found me in the ashes
Your grace became my home
The world remembers what I lost
But I remember
Who never let me go
You'll lead me through the fire
I'll bless your holy name
My Job
I still believe
My Job
