C Em C Em
[Verse 1]
C Em
Ran inside the master's house
C Em
With these heavy words to sound
F
Mighty winds had struck
Am G
His children all had died
C Em
Fellow servants on my left
C Em
They had also told of death
F
The master tears his robe
Am
Quickly shaves his head
G
He falls and says
[Chorus]
F
"Blessed be the name of God
C
You can give and You can take away
G
Take away
F
Naked I came from the womb
C
Naked I'll return to dust one day
G
To dust one day"
Am F C
Who's this man praising God when all was gone?
Am F C
For I would have cursed the One who did me wrong
[Verse 2]
C Em
Sores and boils follow next
C Em
I would tend to his distress
F
Now his wife draws near
Am
And mocks my master's faith
G
But he remains
[Chorus]
F
"Blessed be the name of God
C
You can give and You can take away
G
Take away
F
Naked I came from the womb
C
Naked I'll return to dust one day
G
To dust one day"
Am F C
Who's this man praising God when all was gone?
Am F C
For I would have cursed the One who did me wrong
[Bridge]
E Am
And every day I thought he'd finally give up
F C G
But he did not sin, he did not curse the Father that he loved
E Am
How could he hold onto the sovereignty of God?
F C G
If it were I to be the victim surely I would doubt God's love
F
I would doubt God's love
[Chorus]
F
"Blessed be the name of God
C
You can give and You can take away
G
Take away
F
"Blessed be the name of God
C
You can give and You can take away
G
Take away
F
Naked I came from the womb
C
Naked I'll return to dust one day
G
To dust one day"
Am F C
Who's this man praising God when all was gone?
Am F C
For I would have cursed the One who did me wrong
