Текст песни: Dear Job + перевод

The book of Job sits on the shelf; I stare him down

pretending not to cry

He wants me to know him

He wants to prepare me for one day my children will die

Dear Job, I think you should know

I’m not righteous or slender

Warm-hearted or tender

No beautiful smile

I’m not wealthy or humble

I’ve tried to be successful, but the bitterness gets in the way

Dear Job, my children will stay

Praise be to God above

He gives me the power to see

I’m not like the man he wants me to be;

I’m scared of the things I know

I’ve read His word, the stories He told

And most of all I remember, dear Job

I’ve lived the lies for you

I’ve denied that God is just and true

And He leaves my children here,

But, I bleed inside; I’m made up of ice

It burns like the cross on a demon,

My eyes don’t cry

Dear Job, I’m scared to try

And praise be to God above

He gives me the power to see

I’m not like the man He wants me to be

I’m scared of the things I know

I’ve read His word, the stories He told

And most of all I remember, dear Job

The book of Job sits on the shelf, and he stares me down, pretending not to cry

He wants me to know him,

He wants to prepare me for one day my children will die

Dear Job, I think it’s time

We’re closing our eyes

Amen, my children

Amen

They’re here with me.
