Give & Take

Verse 1

All of my fields
And my family are gone
I am left barren
I'm left alone
Would it not have been right
To die in the night?
No number of days
No time in the light

Chorus

Shall we have good
And know no pain?
Still the Lord gives
And the Lord takes away
Naked I'll go
As naked I came
Jehovah is sovereign
I praise His name

Verse 2

My skin is broken
And I lie in pain
Those I call friends say
My tongue needs tamed
I am crushed down
And my flesh is wounded
My bones are broken
My soul's not excluded

Chorus

Shall we have good
And know no pain?
Still the Lord gives
And the Lord takes away
Naked I'll go
As naked I came
Jehovah is sovereign
I praise His name

Bridge

If there were one
Who could stand between us
To hold his wrath back
Before I'm crushed to dust
And if there were one
To draw us near
Then I would dance
And speak without fear

Chorus

Shall we have good
And know no pain?
Still the Lord gives
And the Lord takes away
Naked I'll go
As naked I came
Jehovah is sovereign
I praise His name
Jehovah is sovereign
I praise His name
Jehovah is sovereign
I praise His name
