Singing Like Job

Naked like my birth
Naked shall I return
one thing I can keep  
Love's intimate Lord
His joy-bonds, my strength  
Oh praise the name of the Lord!
 
(Chorus)
Blessed be our name in the Lord most Holy
Blessed be the named of the Lord
Blessed be the named of the Lord
He gives and He takes, oh!
Blessed be our name in the Lord most Holy
Blessed be the named of the Lord
Blessed be the named of the Lord
Blessed be our name in the Lord most Holy
 
My righteousness I hold fast I will not let Love go
My heart shall not reproach me
as long as I live
I'm learning submission to Great Love
 
"Where were you when I made the earth?"
Says the Lord
"Who hemmed in the sea with shores?
Were you there?"
Lord you know all you will guide my steps everywhere  
Oh praise the name of the Lord!
 
(Chorus again)

Updated version of my first song from 20+ years ago.

Sorry about the weak, unpolished nature of this. I barely had time to sing it in one take. I just made it fit the guitar... sorry it's so long!
