Now a long time ago lived a man named Job
Who was reverent and righteous, turning from sin
He had many children, cattle and servants
Indeed he was richer than all other men
Now there came a time when the angels of God
Went to present themselves there at His throne
The devil was also among them that day
And he stood before God just like one of His own
"Have you consider, Job?" Said the Lord
"A man who is blameless in word and deed
None on the earth can be likened to him
Whatever is righteous, he's anxious to heed"
"Well, of course the man's faithful
And obedient to You
He's just playin' the game
Because You do what You do
You've put up a hedge
'Round his house and his lands
You've been blessing his blocks
And every work of his hands"
"He's like all the rest of this rabble today
He gives loyal service to the one who will pay
But take away all of those things that You gave
And he'll curse You 'til the day that he goes to his grave!"
