His fields were always ripe With wheat and corn. He had ten thousand camels and five thousand sheep And three thousand head of oxen. At sunrise You would find him on his knees singing, "Yahweh Yehoa". Well, one day in the court of heaven, All the heavenly host were gathered there in the presence of the Lord, And Satan was there among them. [sung] Satan went to God, and God said, "Satan, Where you been?" Satan said, "I been on Earth, among men." God said, "You must have seen my faithful servant, Job. You must have seen his worth and how he's evil's foe." Job is evil's foe. Yes, he is. Satan said, "Well, yes, God, Job is your man. But if you struck him, God, well, what would he do then? He'd turn his back on you and curse your name right to your face." God said, "Allright, Bub, go and test his faith -- Go and try Job's faith." "O my God, O my God," cried poor Job. "I have lost everything I owned. I lost my cattle, I lost my land. You took my children, too. I'm losin' my mind and the love of my wife, But I keep my faith in You. I still have faith in You. "O my God, O my God," can't you hear Job? He's singin', "This world can no more be my home. My so-called friends speak biting words, Telling me what to do. My health is gone, I cannot rest, But I keep my faith in You. I still have faith in You." [spoken] And Job's friends, they called to one another, "Brothers! Righteous Job has fallen. Come, let us go and give him what we can." Long, long they journeyed until they found Job In the ashes of his burned-out farm. And they sat down with him for seven days and nights in silence, For they saw that he had suffered greatly. But at last they could hold back no longer, And with accusing fingers pointed at him they said, "Oh, Job, what evil have you done to bring God's wrath upon you?" And at this time, down the road comes Elihu, What took one look and thought he had the whole scene covered! Waaaaow! [sung] That young man lectured Job until Job's poor heart near broke, And from the whirlin' wind, God Himself spoke, Sayin', "Who're these who claim to know my workings and all my ways? Job has proved his faith and shall live joyous days." Yes, Job lived joyful days. Oh, yes, he did. @SONG: "Broken Morning" Lyrics: Jim Roberts Music: Andy Kulberg (c)1970 In the broken morning, When the streets were weary and bare, We stood talking about the empty town And the people who once lived there. Through a shade of memory Came a flash of peace of mind >From days before the complex took the land, When there was more world and time. We had all the time in the world To walk down the road and have a story told. We had all the time in the world, While the forest grew and the river still was flowin'. We watched the city wakening To fill with robot kings and pawns, Walking round in the shadow of their days; Broken morning will soon be gone, And the evening will not be long. Come the dawning we'll see the sun. @SONG: "Out Where the Hills" Lyrics: Jim Roberts Music: Andy Kulberg (c) 1970 Out where the hills roll down to where the sea rolls in, I stood alone, apart on the sand. All along the riverbed, you came up with waterbuckets Overflowing in your hand Sunset is done. Dances begin. Some gather wood for the fire. A carpenter hangs rusty tools in a bare tree, Down by the fire we dance us free, free. [musical interlude] Sidewalks run blood! Fear changes hands. A human flood In the land where the streets are the home of the brave. A white knight, a black sun, and children of shadow Chant in the rain While I lean through the night at my window Love, I want you near me, Need you not to leave. I can hear you breathing. The wind is in the trees. [musical interlude] Out where the hills roll down to where the sea rolls in, Earthmama waves like a field of wheat With the sun in her hair and a baby in her arms, And the new moon at her feet. New days begin. Life's river runs, The Tree of Life gives her seed. The Peace bird alights in the branch of a pear tree, Children of God dance in the Light, forever free. Love, I need you near me, Want you not to leave. Can you hear me breathing? The winds are in the tree. Forevermore, forevermore forevermore, Forevermore, forevermore. [repeat] @SONG: "Waiting for Elijah" Lyrics & Music: Peter Rowan (c) 1970 Waiting for Elijah. (he's been gone so long now) Waiting for Elijah. I hope he's comin' soon. Here I've gone and set a place for you. I've even filled your glass. I remember every word you said, and how they've come to pass. Even, even, eventually. Even, even, eventually. And these bleeding wounds that just won't mend. (and neither will the wind) White geese in the northern sky release the rainbow's end. How brightly shines the moon tonight. Our words lay where they fell. Here we listen, watch, and wait. I lift mine ear to tell you, Even, even, eventually. I say, even, even, eventually. [musical interlude] And I'm waiting for Elijah. (he's been gone so long now) I'm waiting for Elijah. I hope he's comin' soon. I hope he's comin' soon. @SONG: "13 Questions" Lyrics: Jim Roberts Music: Andy Kulberg (c) 1970 Deep in the darkest hour of a very heavy week, Three Earthmen did confront me, and I could hardly speak. They met me in a hurry, they left me tired and sore, And when I'm fit for wishing, I hope they'll come no more. When I'm wishing, I hope they'll come no more. Standing by the exit, with one eye on the door, I listened to them argue. I asked them "Why? What for?" They showed me 19 terrors, and each one struck my soul, They threw me 13 questions, each one an endless hole. Thirteen questions, each an endless hole. Did you see the moon last night, Hung like a Chinese ball? You should have seen the moon last night At the party of us all. Deep in the darkest hour of a very heavy week, Three Earthmen did confront me, and I could hardly speak. They showed me 19 terrors, and each one struck my soul, They threw me 13 questions, each one an endless hole. Thirteen questions, each an endless hole.
