lyrics

JOB’S BLUES

One man is rich, another man is poor
where is the justice? Who knows what it’s all for?
blessed be the Lord, blessed be the Lord
whatever happens, blessed be the Lord.

I’ve been down, I’ve been up
taste the wine, drunk the dregs from the cup
blessed be the Lord, blessed be he Lord
whatever happens, blessed be the Lord.

I am a young man and wisdom does not dwell with me
but there’s one thing I’ve learned
that’s to put away things too hard for me
blessed be the Lord, blessed be the Lord
whatever happens, blessed be the Lord.

The Lord gives - sometimes he takes away
and there is nothing that anyone can say
except blessed be the Lord, blessed be the Lord
whatever happens, say blessed be the Lord.
