Thought Job would flunk "Curse God!" he'd say Took his wealth away Sons and daughters Didn't do well, onto their heads their house roof, it fell But all Satan sends All of the lows Job kept on praisin' the Lord he chose He prayed for later joy He survived the Devil's ploy He was the most upright on Earth Suffered upon this place But God's name he won't debase Because he knows just what that's worth Lost all his cows His wealth and home Got lots of boils, his health it was blown But turn, no sir-ee Bad he won't be Waiting for the Lord's delivery He says to his friends "I won't curse God so! I'll take the good with the bad, you know I won't do wrong, That's not allowed I'll praise the Lord even though I'm down" He prayed for later joy He survived the Devil's ploy He was the most upright on Earth Suffered upon this place But God's name he won't debase Because he knows just what that's worth He prayed for later joy He survived the Devil's ploy He was most upright on Earth Suffered upon this place But God's name he won't debase Because he knows just what that's worth Satan hurled his worst no doubt Well tough Job he would not bow He took all the devil sends So his suffering God ends He's upright and he's blame-free So God gave him joy, you see?
