Ashes and Dust Lyrics

Ashes and dust and ashes and dust
Ashes and dust and ashes and dust

Going to and fro
Walking up and down
Looking high and low
Roaming town to town
Have you seen my servant?
He's an upright man
He fears the Lord God
Firm and fast he stands

Ashes and dust and ashes and dust
Ashes and dust and ashes and dust

Skin for skin all he has
Will he give for his life
Reach your hand now
He will curse you, and how
Then was smote with boils
From sole to crown
There among the ashes
He sat down

Shall we receive good and not evil?
We shall receive from the hand of the Lord?

Though he slay me
Yet shall I praise him
What is man that
God is mindful of him?
Who can counsel him who laid
The foundations down
Where were you when all the stars
Sang out loud?

Ashes and dust and ashes and dust
Ashes and dust and ashes and dust
