SONG NO. 229
THE FAITHFUL JOB
JOB – 1 : 8 -22; 48 : 12 – 16
Job was blameless, upright, fearing God and turning aside from bad
Why- he was in very much pain and very much sad
Satan challenged Jehovah about Job’s righteousness
In-fact this is the matter of Jehovah’s uprightness
Satan blamed,Job is obeying Jehovah so blessing he can reach
But if Jehovah took away His blessings,Job wouldn’t be good over much
So Jehovah then let Satan to test Job
Because of these afflictions Job began to sob
First Satan took his prosperity, then his children Satan did kill
But Job would not curse Jehovah,but simply obeyed Jehovah’s will
Though Job faced much sorrow , tragedy and lose his security
But to Jehovah, Job maintained his integrity
After this, Satan increased Job’ pain
But Satan’s efforts were in vain
Even when Job’s wife said “Curse Jehovah and die”
Job refused to do it he knew Jehovah not cause him to cry
Job endured the pain for the sake of Jehovah God
Because of his good faith,people should consider Job as a good mode
Job at first thought Jehovah caused his calamity
But at that time Job was ignorant of Satan’s controversy
Satan was at the centre of Job’s pain
Jehovah let his tests, knowing Job’s integrity would remain
When Job’s three companions heard about Job’s calamity
They were doubtful about Job’s integrity
There grew in Job’s body a very painful hole
But to keep his integrity was his only goal
As a result of Job taking very firm stand
Jehovah once again showered blessings in his hand
Today this brings us comfort when under Satan’s test
That Jehovah will not leave us , His protection is the best
