You can’t hurry God; you just have to wait.
You have to trust him and give him time,
No matter how long it takes.
He’s a God you can’t hurry.
He will be there, just don’t you worry.
He may not come when you want him,
But He’s right on time.

Job’s brothers come a-running, says,
“Oh, Job, all your cows is dead.”

Chorus: Job said, “The Lord giveth.”
Job said, “Lord taketh away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.”

Job’s brothers come a-running, says,
“Oh, Job, all your children is dead.”

(Chorus)
