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

Man who is born of a woman

Flowers and then fades away

He flees like a shadow at sunset

In a lifetime as short as the day

And there is hope for a stump that is severed

Though its root grows old in the earth

At the first scent of water it wakens

And branches come out in new birth

But man, he lies down, and where is he?

The mourners, they grieve and they weep

But from then ‘til the end of the ages

He will not awake from his sleep

But oh! That my pain would be written

With lead and a steel-pointed pen

Forever engraved into granite

That my words would endure to the end

And though the cry of my heart goes unanswered

When the breath flees away from these bones

In my grave I will wait in this knowledge

In my flesh I will see You alone

You, I know I shall see God my Savior

I will look on Him just as He is

And at last we will stand here together

For I know my Redeemer lives

Now my days they go by like a runner

Like ships driven hard by the wind

Like an eagle that swoops on its quarry

They rush to my death at the end

Though I wash me in crystal clear water

Though I cleanse all my fingers with lye

In the fierce holy light of Your presence

My uncleanness will stink to the sky

Turn away, then Your gaze and Your terror

‘Til I go to the darkness unseen

For You’re not like a man I can answer

And there’s no one to stand in between

There’s no one, no one to stand in between

(Repeat chorus)

Man who is born of a woman

Flowers and then fades away

He flees like a shadow at sunset

In a lifetime as short as the day
