《Job’s Lament》歌词

[00:00:00] Job's Lament - Don Francisco

[00:00:09] Man who is born of a woman

[00:00:13] Flowers and then fades away

[00:00:17] He flees like a shadow at sunset

[00:00:21] In a lifetime as short as the day

[00:00:25] And there is hope for a stump that is severed

[00:00:29] Though it's root grows old in the earth

[00:00:34] At the first scent of water it wakens

[00:00:38] And branches come out in new birth

[00:00:42] But man he lies down and where is he

[00:00:46] The mourners they grieve and they weep

[00:00:51] But from then till the end of the ages

[00:00:55] He will not awake from his sleep

[00:01:02] But oh that my pain would be written

[00:01:05] With lead and a steel pointed pen

[00:01:10] Forever engraved into granite

[00:01:14] That my words would endure to the end

[00:01:18] And though the cry of my heart goes unanswered

[00:01:22] When the breath flees away from these bones

[00:01:26] In my grave I will wait in this knowledge

[00:01:30] In my flesh I will see you alone

[00:01:35] Yes I know I shall see god my savior

[00:01:39] I will look on him just as he is

[00:01:44] And at last we will stand here together

[00:01:48] For I know my redeemer lives

[00:02:07] Now my days they go by like a runner

[00:02:11] Like ships driven hard by the wind

[00:02:15] Like an eagle that swoops on it's quarry

[00:02:19] They rush to my death at the end

[00:02:24] Though I wash me in crystal clear water

[00:02:28] Though I cleanse all my fingers with lye

[00:02:32] In the fierce holy light of your presence

[00:02:36] My uncleanness will stink to the sky

[00:02:40] Turn away then your gaze and your terror

[00:02:44] Till I go to the darkness unseen

[00:02:49] For you’re not like a man I can answer

[00:02:53] And there’s no one to stand in between

[00:02:58] There’s no one no one to stand in between

[00:03:07] But oh that my pain would be written

[00:03:10] With lead and a steel pointed pen

[00:03:15] Forever engraved into granite

[00:03:19] That my words would endure to the end

[00:03:23] And though the cry of my heart goes unanswered

[00:03:27] When the breath flees away from these bones

[00:03:32] In my grave I will wait in this knowledge

[00:03:35] In my flesh I will see you alone

[00:03:40] Yes I know I shall see god my savior

[00:03:44] I will look on him just as he is

[00:03:48] And at last we will stand here together

[00:03:53] For I know my redeemer lives

[00:03:57] Yes I know my redeemer lives

[00:04:19] Man who is born of a woman

[00:04:23] Flowers and then fades away

[00:04:27] He flees like a shadow at sunset

[00:04:32] In a lifetime as short as the day
