Hand Of God

Through heavy tears Job’s quivering voice aches…

Yahweh’s hand gives, Yahweh’s hand takes.

That hand that led Job down so low

Is the same hand that we’ve come to now know.

It can prove difficult to trust His hand.

Especially after it shatters what we planned.

And though at times this hand feels terribly fierce,

It’s a hand that for my sake was willingly pierced.

So in times His hand delivers bitter loss.

I will remember it too carried my cross.

I have no choice but to embrace whatever it may give

For only by it I will eternally live.

So today I will not cower to His hand in fear

For the day is coming it will wipe every tear.
