Verse 1]
He was blameless in the Father’s eyes
A faithful man, humble and wise
But the storm came fast, the heavens shook
And all was taken that the Lord once took
His health, his home, his children gone
Still he cried, “Your will be done.”
[Pre-Chorus]
Though the night was long and cold
He held on with a heart of gold
[Chorus]
Still I will praise, though I’m broken and torn
Even in ashes, to You I’m sworn
When I don’t understand, when the pain won’t cease
I will trust in You and fall to my knees
Naked I came, and naked I leave
But blessed be the Name—I still believe
[Verse 2]
His friends accused, his hope wore thin
But Job stood firm, no curse, no sin
With trembling voice and bitter cries
He kept his faith, he raised his eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
And though he questioned, though he wept
His trust in You, he always kept
[Chorus]
Still I will praise, though I’m broken and torn
Even in ashes, to You I’m sworn
When I don’t understand, when the pain won’t cease
I will trust in You and fall to my knees
Naked I came, and naked I leave
But blessed be the Name—I still believe
[Bridge]
You spoke from the whirlwind, mighty and wise
Laid down the oceans, painted the skies
And in the end, You healed his soul
Restored his life and made him whole
[Final Chorus – soft to strong]
Still I will praise, though I’m broken and torn
Even in ashes, to You I’m sworn
When I don’t understand, when the pain won’t cease
I will trust in You and fall to my knees
Naked I came, and naked I leave
But blessed be the Name—I still believe
Yes, blessed be the Name—I still believe
[Outro – soft piano or strings]
Though You slay me, yet I will hope in Thee
For You are good eternally
