Job 38 God speaks out of the whirlwind
Through the eye wall of the storm
He finds himself in thunders home
A swirling tempest all around
He flys aloft above the ground
The darkness swells on rolling clouds
A piercing light from trumpets loud
A grasp of breath a silent cry
He stands within the Mighty eye
A still and peaceful crowns abode
He utters forth a Royal poem
Assured of life with peace within
He rides the eyewall of the wind
And landing safely on the earth
He tells the story of rebirth
Of life again from deaths abode
He spreads the truth along the road
A life that's lost can rise again
Inside the eye wall of the wind
