Lyrics

Then Job answered I know that it is so But how can a man be just with God?

If he is pleased to contend with him He cannot answer him one of a thousand times God is wise in heart and mighty in strength Who has hardened himself against him and prospered?

He removes the mountains and they know it not When he overturns them in his anger He shakes the earth out of its place And the pillars thereof tremble

He commands the sun and it rises not He seals up the stars He alone stretches out the heavens And treads upon the waves of the sea

How can I answer him? How can I answer him? Though I were righteous Yet would I not answer

For I would speak to my judge For he breaks me with a tempest And multiplies my wounds without cause He will not suffer me to take my breath

But fills me with bitterness If I speak of strength, lo, he is mighty If of justice, who shall set me a time to plead? Though I be righteous yet will he condemn me

How can I answer him? How can I answer him? Though I were innocent My own mouth would condemn me

If I say, I am perfect It shall also prove me perverse I am perfect, yet I know it not My soul abhors my life
