Ran inside the master's house
With these heavy words to sound
Mighty winds had struck
His children all had died
Fellow servants on my left
They had also told of death
The master tears his robe
And quickly shakes his head
He falls and says

Blessed be the name of God
You can give and you can take away
Take away
Naked I came from the womb
Naked I'll return to dust one day
To dust one day
Who's this man praising God
When all was gone
Before I would've cursed thе one who did me wrong

Sores and boys follow nеxt
I would send to his distress
Now his wife draws near
And marks my master's faith
But he remains

Blessed be the name of God
You can give and you can take away
Take away
Naked I came from the womb
Naked I'll return to dust one day
To dust one day
Who's this man praising God
When all was gone
Before I would've cursed the one who did me wrong

And every day I thought he'd finally give up
But he did not sin
He did not curse the father that he loved
How could he hold on to the sovereignty of God
If it were ought to be the victim
Surely I would doubt God's love
I would doubt God's love

Blessed be the name of God
You can give and you can take away
Take away

Blessed be the name of God
You can give and you can take away
Take away
Naked I came from the womb
Naked I'll return to dust one day
To dust one day
Who's this man praising God
When all was gone
Before I would've cursed the one who did me wrong

Who's this man praising God
When all was gone
Before I would've cursed the one who did me wrong
