A Man Named Job

G      C
[Verse 1]
G
Once was a man with all the possessions that this world could hold
                                                            C
The fathers riches seemed to overflow but all he wanted was you
G
A blameless man who feared God turned away from evil
                                                                C
The greatest man this land had ever known but all he wanted was you
G
The tempter came to try to set the Lord against his soul
                                                              C
To strip away all that he'd ever owned, but all he wanted was you

Yeah just you
G         C
Just you


[Verse 2]
G
The servants come one by one to tell him all the news
                                                       C
That everything has been lost, there's nothing left to you
Em
Knees to the ground, he rips his shirt and starts to shave his head

Looks to the sky and then somehow he says
               C
"All I need is you!"
Em
Then boils come one by one, he's covered head to toe
                                                       C
Among the ashes, still somehow he knows "All I need is you"
Em
"Curse God and die!" So she says but does she really know?
                                             C
That shall we take good from God and not evil

Not evil
     G       C
From you


[Verse 3]
G
His friends, they travel for days to give him counsel now
                                                            C
But they don't know what they say, they only tear him down

He starts to question their ways, it seems they've led him wrong

But then he starts to complain, that's when we hear the sound
Em
"A voice that comes from the wind is here to question you

And since you've tried to contend, I hope you hear the truth
C
That all the wind, stars, and skies

The raising seas, the waters rise

You can't deny I'm the one that all this has come through
G
'Cause I'll always be and I've always been

Wherever you've gone, I've been with you then
                                                                             C
Humble your heart, fall on your knees, trust in my ways when still you can't see"

When I can't see
G              C
I trust you


[Verse 4]
G
This man we know named as Job, he falls unto the ground

Covers his hand to his mouth so words won't utter out
N.C.
"My God your wonderful ways, no man can understand
