Over the summer, God has really brought my attention to Job 38 and 39. I’ve always loved this chapter but it really captivated my heart in a new way. In these passages God is basically putting Job in his place by asking questions like “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?” and “Do you give the horse his strength
or clothe his neck with a flowing mane?”
I don’t know about you, but these are not the kinds of questions that I want God asking me. The thing is though, I feel like I’m asked these questions a lot in different ways. I wish I could say that I that I never question God, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
I wondered what it would be like to hear God audibly asking me these questions. The only thing that flowed from my heart was “Hosanna, O my God.” One of the things that I adore most about God is the fact that He made the earth and all in it and yet...
He’s still interested in me.
He knows my name.
My failures.
The terrible things that go on in my mind.
And yet...
He still loves me.
This is what this song is about.
Watch it at...

Job’s Song
Who directs the great waters
and guides them with His hands?
Who can tilt the jars of heaven
to quench this parched land?
Who makes earth’s floor tremble
and sends light from the clouds?
Who commands the sun to rise
and calls forth brilliant stars?
There will be children dancing and
drummers drumming tonight
And all the people kneel
and bow their heads and cry
Hosanna Hosanna O our God
Hosanna Hosanna O our God
Who has loved me in the midst
of my eleventh hour?
Who has kept my feet from stumbling
and been my Strong Tower?
There will be children dancing and
drummers drumming tonight
And all the people stand
and lift their heads and cry
Hosanna Hosanna O our God
Hosanna Hosanna O our God
Who keeps me from all harm
and watches over my life?
Who hears my faintest prayers
and stand by my side?
There will be children dancing and
drummers drumming tonight
And all the people clap
and lift their hands and cry
And all the glory of out King
appears before eyes
Then all the doubts and fears
they will roll out of sight
Hosanna Hosanna O our God
Hosanna Hosanna O our God
