Job's Plea
Noe Rodriguez 1956 (McPherson)
You're standing next to me and you can't hear me calling
My body is going limp and I feel like I'm falling.
There are things in my head, I can't understand
Can you please help me out and give me a hand?
Inside I'm crying and yelling but you still can't hear
My eyes are flooded with water from all these tears.
Please help me calm down, I don't know what to do
There are voices in my head that are telling me adieu!
My body is burning and I am out of control
I feel like I'm dying, O Lord save this soul.
I'm slowly giving in and I am wasting away
I can't fight it anymore there's no more delay!
The end is very near and all my fears are coming true
I must face my judgment and let my body subdue
If I lived like Jesus according to His will
I am not afraid anymore, so my soul, be still!
