Why

Datin' Satan Don't you trust me to keep my word
Chaining me down is quiet absurd
I am Satan, haven't you heard
Our job is dating Satan
We're dating Satan God said it must be done
Why is job bating so much fun
We're dating Satan
God said it must be done
Why is job bating so much fun
What's job done to get the cream
It makes me want to shout and scream
That's why we Datin' satan
My lovelies while still in your prime,
Let's paint the town, have a good time
No one will know it's not a crime
Not while on duty Satan
Hey there Satan God has told us who you are
Hey there Satan you mustn't go too far
Now don't be cruel your not a fool our orders are our orders
So come on and play it cool
Stick but gods rules
We're dating Satan, God said it must be done
Why is job bating so much fun
We're dating Satan God said it must be done
Why is job bating so much fun
Most girls like dating satan they find him full of charm.
Why not relax with Satan so what if job comes to harm
Ok girls I'll play it straight, make job think it's only fate
That's brought him down at such a rate
But we're still dating Satan.
We're dating Satan God said it must be done
Why is job bating so much fun.
We're dating Satan God said it must be done
Why is job bating so much fun
God said you could try your plan to test his servant all that you can
But don't dare touch the innocent man
The challenge is stimulating
It's a party
It's a party forget worldly worries and let it go real nice and slow
It's a party and no one is watching put on a show, and don't say no
With friends around you nothing can go wrong
When it ends at this do morning won't be long
It's a party so turned your partner that down your hair dark or fair
It's a party find a small corner and make a pair right over there
life is fun in this room don't let time exist you're so young in full bloom
Don't get in a twist
There's nothing here to cause you fear or make you shed a tear
You're at a party at party and it might be the best one of the year
It's a party and we are relaxing and feeling good we're in the right mood
It's a party wearing fine clothes and eating rich food, tastes as it should
We are all related and don't want any more
Feeling truly elated outside are a bore
Life's amazing, all work and no play for we few elite, a little friendly elite
Our hopes on raising, expecting our parents to give us a treat, a generous treat
If we should look like bad guys, Job goes to his store
Offers sacrifices to heaven by the score
God's ok cause Job will pay, we'll pray another day
You're at a party a party secure within these walls is where we'll stay
Umbrella of love
Rain or hail, without fail dad prays to God for his family
Thinks we sin will never win until we show more humility
God must know very well with not so bad and we don't have to be just like our dad
He's so pure, and so sure, of our roll in the holy plan,
Why don't we happily stand in awe of that godly man
Its a bore to sail through life with so much ease
Doing anything you like just when you please
Nothing in this great big world or even up above
Could ever penetrate our vast umbrella of love
Every week, we still seek, the good life that is rushing past
As we run we want fun life for us is so very fast
Yet we feel so secure safe and calm there's no way we can come to any harm
All we need is to plead father grants every little wish
Loves us so can't say no presents flow on a silver dish
He has built around the solid shell
we must escape this claustrophobic hell
Yet we feel so secure safe and calm: there's no way we can come to any harm.
Nothing in this great big world, or even up above,
Could ever penetrate our vast umbrella of love.
Only I escaped
I was working your field master mending a broken plough
All seem to country charm master I looked up and kapow
There were Arabs all around me I felt my blood go chill
Ox and ass were stolen raiders stayed to kill
They thought they had killed us all master they didn't see me go Only I escaped master
So far as I know
I was searching for sheep master the sky grew black as night
I looked toward your flock master the lightning flashed so bright
Streaking arrow struck them down it filled my heart with dread
When I reached a grazing grounds friends and sheep were dead
They thought they had killed us all master they didn't see me go
Only I escaped master so far as I know
I was cooking a meal master before I a cattle drive
The other men were waiting master for supper to arrive
Suddenly from nowhere three wild tribes appears
killed all the drivers camels disappeared
I loved your eldest son master served in all my life
Enjoyed his family parties master how can I face your wife
Every single siblings was there gathering in that room
Then the wind began to build up
Bellowed loud and boom
Yet no one heard it coming master the party noise was too loud
That hurricane was vicious master it tore house on to crowd
Roof was down in no time at all all I saw was rubble
All words begin to fail me so much trouble
They thought they had killed us all master, they didn't see me go
only I escaped master so far as I know
They thought they had killed us all master they didn't see me go
only I escaped master so far as I know
Justice
We're just mere mortals in a complex plan
Justice is the key word for a sinning man
Punishments right for those who fall short but god is full of heart
Admit you are wrong forgiveness will come and a brand new start
You once told a grieving man that, god was just
Accept what has been done to you if you still trust
It must come from you, admit what you've done
Repent your evil ways you know that it's true good times will return
That's what the scriptures says
I never knew just how low were the depths of despair
when hope is gone please tell me why is life so unfair
I must know why before I die
I do know this without doubt even when he is right
With all mans might no one can take on god in a fight
I'm not that strong but I've done no wrong
Gods in charge of everything he's in full command
Higher deeper grander yet makes one demand
Sorry's the word that you've got to say to purify you name
Swallow you pride or you'll go to hell and that would be a shame
Listen to the wisdom of your dear old friends,
Good men always prosper bad meet sticky ends
With all your support your still going down
You need to act in haste if you carry on you'll very soon die
And that would be a waste
In times like these you need friends I'm still searching for mine
You've let me down, turn the screw think that I have a fine
Why don't you believe oh kindly leave
Won't someone here pity me put themselves in my place
Tell God I need just one chance to speak with him face to face
Please take a lead its justice i need
Why don't you hear us and the words we say
We try to help you but you walk away
We know it's god we also know why c'mon job it so easy
You still haven't heard what more can we say oh please see
I'll still win
When ever I speak pain grips me silence is worst
And my friends who should help me area curse
I'm looking for someone to help him get through to God
but not you you just taunt him it's so odd.
Look look, look at you God’s found out you sin.
Look look look at you it's the sin bin he's dropped you in
I know it is God who's hit me without reason at all
Tell me why pick on me for such a fall
His brothers and friends forsake him, it's not his fault
pity him, pity him and call a halt
Change, change change and then ask God to forgive you
Change change change and then we know that god won't fail you
It's only the good who prosper Gods law is just
Can't you see in Gods site you're less than dust
God hasn't been fair to you, it's a disgrace
You have cause to curse him to his face
Wait wait wait and see we'll help you to hang on
Wait wait wait and see you'll see he hasn't gone
Thank you for coming to see us please go away
We'll that's nice you've not listened to a word we've said
Satan you've tried to break him,without success
Give me time he will break under all this stress
No no I'll still win I know that I'm right
No nothings changed just wait until my words begin to bite
SatanCurse your god
Curse him to his face
Curse your god
Why
Curse your God
Curse him to his face
Curse your God
No What must I do to make you see why won't you listen to my plea
Like all men I'm not without some sin you know I'm yours why wont you let me in
Despite my plight I know I'm right I must put up this fight
Because I still love you and want you to help me see the light
You are the only one who can show me how is fits into your plan
It’s you who has bought all this on me and shattered hard earned integrity
You know me well explain this hell o face me now and tell
What have I done to upset you please make our friendship well
Your silence makes my poor head ring why why why when you know everything
Have you put me down so low I long to hear and know
What must I do to make you hear
Desperation overcomes my fear
I’ve kept my faith and surely thats the key
So why oh why, are you ignoring me
Let's settle this quickly
I know I'll pass through your scrutiny
Separate hearts
HelenOnce long ago, or was it just yesterday
I loved a handsome man and life
We had our dream, he worked hard I would playI was so happy with my life
Why was our would torn apart I feel we're becoming separate hearts
Business wasn't slow our wealth increased so fast many said that God was on our side
Fame didn't change us remembering our past
We helped the poor when lesser men would hide
Why was our would torn apart I feel we're becoming separate hearts.
We saw our children grow too fast for us,
Time had wings and young years flew away
We didn't understand them, they thought we made a fuss
And now it seems that even you won't stay
Why has this happened especially to me,what have I done to justify this deed
Who can I turn to who will hear my plea when will someone give a helpful lead
Why was our would torn apart I feel we're becoming separate hearts
Why was our would torn apart Is no one up there with a heart
Small Minds
Why does that man question God’s plan
Why is it that he resists almighty
Why won't he now kneel down and bow
Why won't he begin to admit his sin
Small minds such small minds with nothing inside them
How can they begin to tell pebble from real gem
The less that they know the louder they shout
The stupidest constantly brawl
They'll never be able to understand life with a brain box so terribly small
How do you dare say it's not fair
How can you know why God laid you low
You know that you must give God your trust
Throw your pride and join the right side
Small minds, such small minds with nothing inside them
How can they begin to tell pebble from real gem
The less that they know the louder they shout
The stupidest constantly brawl
They'll never be able to understand life with a brain box so terribly small
God wants you to know you gotta say no
To high living ways for crime never pays
I've tried to explain the cause of your pain
Submit to one who still cares about you
.Small minds such small minds with nothing inside them
How can they begin to tell pebble from real gem
The less that they know the louder they shout
The stupidest constantly brawl
They'll never be able to understand life with a brain box so terribly small
The patience of Job
God and Job, have met in the world which is the school room of all men
God has chosen Job for the highest honor mortal man can gain
The wisdom of God is not found in the skies but alongside men
Job found God in the world for to understand God you must know men
it is by looking at the common things with God that Job will learn
The cynic
Why am I down when I did all I could
Why show these girls that I'm in a foul mood
I've lost round one but not the battle men never learn
They're just like cattle
La la la lar, la la la la la larla la la lar
la la la la la la lar
God holds me back by controlling my power
It gives him hell when I make men cower
It's a cert I bet on winners God is hurt when men are sinners
Now you hear this there is nothing genuinely good
Is God so pure that man would love him and gave no food
Can man love God when the kitty has run out of perks you must agree
God uses bribe to hold mankind that's how it works
I'm at my best when creating mischief especially aimed at holly belief
I'm happiest working out a plan incognito temping greedy man
La la la lar, la la la la la lar
la la la lar,a la la la la la lar
Jobs as surprise and I summed him up wrong
If I found his floor he wouldn't last long
What did I miss what did I forget
I know he loves God just for what he can get
Now you hear this there is nothing genuinely good
Is God so pure that man would love him and gave no food
Can man love God when the kitty has run out of perks
you must agree God uses bribes to hold mankind
that's how it works
No choice
No choice had to see it through
No choice cause I still love you
Knew after all those years I hadn't got it wrong
My life was shaken everything was taken
And yet we still held on knowing we were true
No choice had to really try
No choice, couldn't let you die
Faith in you was all I had I waited for your reply
I'd sunk so low where did you go
I longed to hear your voice explaining why
There was no one to hear me if you weren't prepared to stay
There was no one I wanted if you threw your life away
No one else on Earth had any worth
To make me want to see one more day
And now we have seen it through
And now I'm still in love with you
We've got a brand new life to ahead
A gift for us to share
A life worth living enough to keep on giving
And love so deep we know that it's true
A life worth living enough to keep on giving
And love so deep we know that it's true
Trust in God
Looking back onto time and history
Cleaver men couldn't solve our mystery
So why ask why it isn't odd
No man can reach the mind of God
We may change how we live, and the way we play
But Gods the same everyday as he was yesterday
So why ask why so why ask why so why ask why
Trust In God
Trust in God trust in God trust in God trust in God trust in God
Trust in God have faith
Trust in God have faith
You must have a faith so blind to calm the torment in your mind
He expects us to obey immediately without delay.
He loves us he loves us
Cares for us cares for us
How dare we how dare we doubt
He know us he knows us
Cares for us cares for us
How dare we how dare we doubt
Faith In God doesn't come to easily
In bad time life stops flowing breezily
But trust in God at any cost
while on his side you’ll not be lost
Do God will even though you’re feeling low
read his word and your faith will grow and grow
So why ask why so why ask why so why ask why trust in God
Trust in God trust in God trust in God trust in God trust in God
Trust in God have faith
Trust in God have faith
You must have a faith so blind
To calm the torment in your mind
He expects us to obey Immediately without delay
He loves us he loves us
Cares for us cares for us
How dare we how dare we doubt
He know us he knows us
Cares for us cares for us
How dare we how dare we doubt
Trust in God Trust in God have faith
Trust in God Trust in God have faith
