Let Us Be As Job

Let us lay aside
Every weight we bear
And no longer hide
From our Father's care

Let us be as Job
Patient in all ways
His faith did naught but grow
For all of His days

He had known great wealth
Blessed beyond measure
Then he lost his health
And all one could treasure

Still Job, then, honored
The trust He had been given
As strength he gathered
Through the hope of heaven

[Verse 1] Let us lay aside Every weight we bear And no longer hide From our Father's care Let us be as Job Patient in all ways His faith did naught but grow For all of His days [Pre-Chorus] He had known great wealth Blessed beyond measure Then he lost his health And all one could treasure Still he stood in faith Still he held on tight When the world went dark He reached for light [Chorus] Let us lay aside Let us lay aside Our Father's care Is here tonight Let us be as Job Let us be as Job Patient in all ways Held by His light [Verse 2] He had known great wealth Blessed beyond measure Then he lost his health And all one could treasure Still Job, then, honored The trust He had been given As strength he gathered Through the hope of heaven [Pre-Chorus] He had known the rain He had known the flame Yet he kept his name And he kept his frame Through the dust and ash Through the broken ground Faith was in his hands When none was found [Chorus] Let us lay aside Let us lay aside Our Father's care Is here tonight Let us be as Job Let us be as Job Patient in all ways Held by His light [Bridge] When the sorrow stays And the answers wait Teach our hearts to bend Not to break If we lose it all Still we will sing Hope will rise again In the sheltering [Final Chorus] Let us lay aside Let us lay aside Our Father's care Is here tonight Let us be as Job Let us be as Job Patient in all ways Held by His light
