Job - Part 2...

As a follow-up to my earlier post on Job...

This weekend and next I'm playing keyboard for worship. We are doing a song by Superchic[k] called "Beauty from Pain" and the words just speak to the heart of what I've been studying in Job. The gal that's singing it will be amazing. Grab your tissues...

BEAUTY FROM PAIN

The lights go out all around me
One last candle to keep out the night
And then the darkness surrounds me
I know I’m alive but I feel like I’ve died
And all that's left is to accept that it's over
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made
I try to keep warm but I just grow colder
I feel like I’m slipping away

After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I’ve cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today, Someday I’ll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

My whole world is the pain inside me
The best I can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I'll wonder why God lets me walk through this place
And though I can't understand why this happened
I know that I will when I look back someday
And see how You've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames

Here I am, at the end of me
Tryin' to hold to what I can't see
I forgot how to hope
This night's been so long
I cling to Your promise
There will be a dawn ...

After all this has passed, I still will remain
After I’ve cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today,
Someday I’ll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain...
