Verse 1
As the sun rose that morning on the day of job's trial
He rose up to serve god as any other day
Bound and determined to live in god's favor
And nothing would stand in his way. (go to verse 2)
Verse 2
Then the messengers came one by one with their stories
In just a few moments job lost all he had
From great wealth and riches to the health of his body
Even his children we're dead (go to chorus)
Chorus
The lord giveth he taketh away
Blessed be the name of the lord
I served him before and i'll serve him today
Blessed be the name of the lord.
Verse 3
Then his wife came before him to voice her opinion
She said you should end it just curse god and die
But job rose from the ashes and looked toward the heavens
And he brushed back the tears from his eyes (go to chorus)
Chorus
He said the lord giveth he taketh away
Blessed be the name of the lord
I served him before and i'll serve him today
Blessed be the name of the lord.

When troubles come silently blessed be the name
When storm winds blow violently blessed be the name
When satan comes oppressing me blessed be the name
I'll still serve god faithfully blessed be the name
(end with chorus)
Chorus
The lord giveth he taketh away
Blessed be the name of the lord
I served him before and i'll serve him today
Blessed be the name of the lord.
