“I know that my Redeemer lives!”  (Job 19:25)


“What do you know that we don´t know?”  *)
Did ask the friends of Job,
their words to him seem one big woe,
while pains his soul enrobe!

“I know what you don´t seem to know:
Lo, my Redeemer lives!
You may me see bent deeply low,
Yet hope my heart He gives!

As this was what Job still could say,
his sadness had to go,
that gospel word was just the ray
that gave him joy and glow!

His friends may be okay and right,
their words, though, God found wrong,
their wit and logic may be bright,
but didn´t last that long!

So read Job´s story in that light,
do courage take, my friend,
you may be in some gloomy night,
yet light will be the end!

Though He may slay you, trust Him still,  **)
maybe a word today
He whispers to you at His will
to bless and not to slay!
