Job: God's Testimony
Job indeed was a true man of God
one who always sought God to please
in his early years lost all he had
but kept his integrity always on his knees
Turmoil entered his mind later
but found good advice hard to find
all his advisers were no benefit
for indeed showed an unloving mind
Satan attacked him like no other had
having God's permission to do all but kill
in this turmoil Job couldn't understand
for God's ways mysterious causing ill
But Job knew man as sinful
still he hoped in the eternal one
for one day God would indeed judge
putting all things right His will be done
Job knew truly his redeemer did live
for he indeed would stand on the last day
his miserable comforters would be gone
but he will clearly see God that he may
In his latter days Job was blessed
far more than in all his life
God tried him purifying his very soul
perfecting his servant by divine knife
