Hymn for Job

Hymn for Job 03:23
Closing out the day With a song I heard you play The melody won't let me be Time to face the dark The quiet and the stark The pictures I don't want to see Got a half-tank roving heart There's a devil that will pull us apart Lion trudging land and serpent waiting in the sea Floating in a dream We've pulled apart the seams That were fraying in a darkened heart Wading in the sea in the Shores of Galilee I don't want to play a martyr's part I know that I'm on borrowed time I'm the end of the family line Everything I have disappears like a light in the dark My foundation's built on shifting sand I might not make it to the promised land But this is what I chose so this is how I'll spend my time When the oceans rise The film over our eyes Strike the ground to make the oil run Ending of the times A blaze up in the sky The hourglass upon the sun They try to take away all I have I never know if I will get it back But this is what I chose so this is how the deal is done I'm a family man Working with my hands Trying to make an honest wage Kids are coming home I'm staring at my phone It's kinda making me go insane I've gotta get across town by 5 Try to bust it to the finish line Closing out the job and somehow make it out alive Turning off the light Redemption someday will be mine

about

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
