JOB – Why Do the Wicked Prosper? by Bro H

Verse 1 Why do the violent sleep in peace While the faithful fall to grief? Why do the proud grow old in strength And mock Your Name with every breath? Their homes are safe, their children rise No rod of judgment in their lives They laugh at truth, despise Your way Yet live to see another day Chorus Why do the wicked prosper still While the righteous walk uphill? Why does silence fill the sky When the innocent cry? I will not curse, I will not flee But I will ask what I still see If You are just — then let me know Why evil seems to rule below Verse 2 They move the stones, they steal the land They crush the poor with clever hands Yet courts grow blind, the watchmen sleep And graves are dug for those who weep I searched the night for wisdom’s voice But found no answer, found no choice Except to stand where truth remains And wait through unexplained pain Chorus Why do the wicked prosper still While the righteous walk uphill? Why does silence fill the sky When the innocent cry? I will not curse, I will not flee But I will ask what I still see If You are just — then let me know Why evil seems to rule below Bridge I spoke of things too high for me I asked for light, not mastery You did not answer with a name But showed me who commands the flame Final Chorus Though I don’t see the scales tonight I trust the hand that weighs what’s right The end is not the day I stand But when You rise and speak command
