Job 19
Redemption Unveiled: Job 19's Powerful Revelation
Lyrics
May my words be written down
May my words be permanently recorded.
written on a scroll
May my words be written on a scroll.
Written on a stone
May my words be inscribed on a stone.
May my life be written down
May the events of my life be documented.
With an iron pen
Let it be recorded with an iron pen.
With a rock on lead
Let it be engraved like writing on a rock or lead.
For I know...
For I am certain...
That my Redeemer lives
I am confident that my Redeemer, a savior figure, is alive.
That my Redeemer lives
Reiteration of the confidence in the living Redeemer.
My Redeemer lives
Affirmation: My Redeemer lives.
My Redeemer lives
Reiteration of the affirmation about the living Redeemer.
My Redeemer, He shall stand
Emphasis on the Redeemer standing firm on the earth.
Stand on the earth
Describing the Redeemer's stance on the earth.
And when my skin is gone
Anticipating a time when the speaker's physical body is no more.
In my flesh I shall see God
Confidence in seeing God even beyond the loss of physical form.
And my eyes behold
Acknowledgment of seeing God with one's own eyes.
How my heart yearns
Expressing a deep yearning within the heart.
My heart it yearns...
Reiteration of the profound yearning within the heart.
Not by power or by might or strength
Acknowledging that the significance is not in human strength, wealth, or fame.
Or riches, wealth or fame
Rejecting the importance of power, might, strength, riches, wealth, or fame.
May my life be written down because
Reason for wanting life documented: the certainty in the Redeemer's existence.
I know, I know...
Reiteration of the certainty in the Redeemer's existence.
He lives, He lives
Affirmation: He lives, emphasizing the continued existence of the Redeemer.
