Song Of Job Poem by Nadeine Burnett

Your feet guided me, my heart unafraid
'love me, fear me' I heard you say
unaware of the price to be paid
but sudden destruction came my way

The blood of my children painted on my face
as calamity struck, I lost them all in one day
why did sin enter the human race?
what have they done? for them daily I prayed

I burned, I cried, I begged for death
they told me I deserved it all
but for you I shall give my dying breath
for without you I shall stumble and fall

My heart and mind in rhythm, trusting you
though slain and shaken, It shall forever remain true.
