From the Book of Job by Paul Stetsenko — Lyrics
Where were you when I made the earth? Where were you when I made the sky?
When the stars sang together, and the angels cried for joy,
When I stretched my hand and said, "Let there be light!"
Hear me, Lord! May I also speak? Teach me, Lord, may I understand.
I had heard you with my ears but now I see you with my eyes.

About From the Book of Job
From the Book of Job is a sacred piece for two-part treble voices (SA) in English. The text draws directly from the biblical Book of Job, exploring themes of divine power, human frailty, and ultimate redemption. It opens with God questioning Job's understanding of creation, moving to Job's humble submission and newfound spiritual insight. The latter part of the text shifts to the crucifixion, contrasting humanity's potential absence during Christ's sacrifice with God's redemptive love that allows us to live. This work offers a profound meditation on faith and the divine plan, suitable for services reflecting on creation, redemption, or the nature of faith.
