Recording Job 23:8-12 - Not Turned Aside

This week I decided to record Job 23:8-12, the verse in which the man Job describes his relationship to God. He explains that although he can travel all over the earth and not see God, he knows that God is with him wherever he goes.

It's weird sometimes how these songs kind of grow and evolve while recording them. It just felt like it needed to sound like this, sort of a synthy style, reminiscent again of the 80s.

The video that accompanies it is nearly done, and I'll probably get it uploaded by Monday. It's sort of Anime-animation in style.

I hope you like it!

Here are the lyrics:

If I go east,
He is not there,
And if I go west,
I can't perceive him.
When he is at work to the north,
I cannot see him;
When he turns south,
I cannot find him.

Yet he knows the way I have taken;
When he's tested me, I'll come out pure gold.
My feet have followed in his footsteps and
I have kept to his way and not turned aside.

Instrumental

I've not departed
From the commands
From his lips;
From his lips.
I've treasured the words from his mouth
More than my daily food.

Cause he knows the way I have taken;
When he's tested me, I'll come out pure gold.
My feet have followed in his footsteps and
I have kept to his way and not turned aside.
