Текст песни Job's Defiance (Don Francisco) с переводом

You, my friends, are all my scorners

And it seems your words of wind will have no end

While my adversary charges

Like a monster with its teeth he tear and rends

My face is streaked with weeping

And the darkness of my death is on my eyes

Like a prey I’ve fled and fallen

In the dust I crawl and have no strength to rise

If I’ve turned my steps to vanity

Or spoken in deceit the words of sin

I would be the first to tell you

And agree that I deserve this pain I’m in

But of sin I am not guilty

And the prayer from deep within my heart is pure

And for as long as life is in me

I will hold that my integrity is sure

I have sensed His sound and shadow

But I turn and look and He’s no longer there

In futility I have sought Him

If you know the place He’s hiding, tell me where

For if I could only find Him

I would bring my case for justice to His throne

I would lay it all before Him

And my righteousness would once for all be known

(Repeat chorus)

I’d demand the whole indictment

I would wear it like a crown before His face

Like a prince I would approach Him

And declare that my accuser has no case

And I call the earth to witness

Cover not by blood until God hears my cry

Let this wrong be still remembered

‘Til at last there is an answer from on high

Let this wrong be still remembered

‘Til at last there is an answer from on high
