1. Deborah's Song: Written October 2022 (Judges 5) O kings hear a song that reaches the Lord: a woman standing tall to lead; The earth quaked and trembled, the sky bled its store When God marched out to wield His mighty sword. Those who love You will rise up Burning brightly, shining like the sun While Your enemies perish They will tumble to the ground. They fought from the heavens, the stars from their course, The torrent of the land swept them away. Is there none to carry the will of the Lord? The people flee before the pounding horse. Those who love You will rise up Burning brightly, shining like the sun While Your enemies perish They will tumble to the ground. Most blessed is a woman, a wife with a peg, When asked for water gave warm milk. And as he lay sleeping, she hammered his head, He lay still, he sank, there he fell dead. Let Your enemies perish, They will fall and never rise again. Those who rest by Your river Will recount Your righteousness. Will recount Your righteousness. Will recount Your righteousness.

Jonah's Song 03:28
2. Jonah's Song: Written 2020. (Jonah 2) Out of the belly of the deep I cried and You heard my voice. Into the heart of the sea You cast me out. And Your flood surrounded me, Your temple loomed as like a tree. To the roots of the mountain I sank down and down. The prison bars of the earth had closed me in. My soul was tightly wound by the weeds from underground. You brought me out of the pit as lifted incense. You will be praised where You sit, where You sit. Those who follow after useless gods will run swift to die. The sacrifice of the righteous will be seen. I will pay what I have vowed, All my pride and fury bowed. You brought me out of the pit as lifted incense. You will be praised where You sit, where You sit. Where You sit.

3. Daniel's Song: Written 2020. (Daniel 2:20-23) Wisdom and might, God, are Yours, and Your kingdom will not fail. Rulers rise up and fall down, but Your sovereignty prevails. You award vision to the wise. You illuminate the dark with Your unending light. You reveal deep and secret things. You pour out insight, knowledge, understanding. Reveal Your will to us, Your will to us. Reveal Your will to us, Your will to us.

Job's Song 04:47
4. Job's Song: Written 2020 (Job 19, etc) I came forth naked from my mother's womb, And naked I will go into my grave. No treasure will I bear into my tomb For God has taken everything He gave. Why, Lord, do You afflict the righteous man? I have not earned this penance or this pain. If only You would face me as I stand, And hear the cries I raise to You in vain. My Vindicator lives, I know, my Vindicator lives And I will see Him stand upon the earth. I long, I long, to see Him, to see Him, to see Him. For every man of every woman born Is no more than a breath upon the wind. He vanishes and none are left to mourn He fades forgotten even by his kin. My Vindicator lives, I know, my Vindicator lives And I will see Him stand upon the earth. I long, I long, to see Him, to see Him, to see Him. If only there were One to stand between, To place His hand on me, His hand on God, To teach me what this suffering mystery means; To turn away the anger and the rod. My Vindicator lives, I know, my Vindicator lives And I will see Him stand upon the earth. My Vindicator lives, I know, my Vindicator lives And I will see Him stand upon the earth. I long, I long, to see Him, to see Him; I long, I long, to see Him, to see Him, to see Him.

about

The prophets of the Old Testament were thought to have known everything that God was doing, but even they questioned God and wondered at His will, receiving insight only when God gave it.
