Lyrics

Job chapter 10
Job frames his plea to God
"I'm disgusted with my life, let me complain freely
My bitter soul must complain
I will say to God, 'Don't simply condemn me
Tell me the charge you are bringing against me
What do you gain by oppressing me? Why do you reject me
The work of your own hands, while
Smiling on the schemes of the wicked?
Are your eyes like those of a human?
Do you see things only as people see them?
Is your lifetime only as long as ours?
Is your life so short that you must quickly
Probe for my guilt and search for my sin?
Although you know I am not guilty
No one can rescue me from your hands
You formed me with your hands, you made me
Yet now you completely destroy me
Remember that you made me from dust
Will you turn me back to dust so soon?
You guided my conception and formed me in the womb
You clothed me with skin and flesh
And you knit my bones and sinews together
You gave me life and showed me your unfailing love
My life was preserved by your care
Yet your real motive, your true intent, was to watch me
And if I sin, you will not forgive my guilt
If I am guilty, too bad for me
And even if I'm innocent, I can't hold my head high
Because I'm filled with shame and misery
And if I hold my head high, you hunt me like a lion
And display your awesome power against me
Again and again you witness against me
You pour out your growing anger on me
And bring fresh armies against me
Why then, did you deliver me from my mother's womb?
Why didn't you let me die at birth?
It would be as though I had never existed
Going directly from the womb to the grave
I have only a few days left, so leave me alone
That I may have a moment of comfort before I leave
Never to return, for the land of darkness and utter gloom
It is a land as dark as midnight
A land of gloom and confusion
Where even the light is dark as midnight"
