Shades of White

Shades of white are colors that differ only slightly from pure white. Variations of white include what are commonly termed off-white colors, which may be considered part of a neutral color scheme or yellow that looks like brown. In color theory, a shade is a pure color mixed with black (or having a lower lightness). Strictly speaking, a "shade of white" would be a neutral grey. This article is also about off-white colors that vary from pure white in hue, and in chroma (also called saturation, or intensity). Colors often considered "shades of white" include cream, eggshell, ivory, Navajo white, and vanilla. Even the lighting of a room, however, can cause a pure white to be perceived as off-white.Off-white colors were pervasively paired with beiges in the 1930s… more »

Come Elihu, say your piece
We see your anger burn
Job's inability to see his fault
Has silenced the three for good

In their silence you do feel 
That God has been condemned 
You may be young but now's the time
To speak your words to them

Yes I am young and you are old, that's why I kept my silence
I did presume to know my place but now I can't be quiet
I thought you'd speak with wisdom
As men of God should do
I've listened to you reason
But your arguments have not come through
You can't give Job an answer
Don't say that he's too wise
Your silence now has given me
The time to speak my mind

Listen Job to what I say, allow me to continue
I speak to you with sincerity, with truth from the Almighty
Answer me if you can, it's now that you can make your stand
Don't be afraid, we're made the same, to God we are no different

You say you're pure and innocent,
You say you have not sinned.
You say that God is punishing you
An enemy He has picked
But Job now let me tell you
You've got it oh so wrong
You've said yourself God is more than man
So why do you bring this charge?

You say He won't listen to you, or any man's complaints
He does this through visions and dreams, it's just that no-one listens
He'll whisper in the ears of many, to cause them to change their minds
Or discipline through pain and sickness, til Death has marked their time

But if an angel intercedes on behalf of someone
To say this man has done no wrong, then God will hold His judgement
His grace will be to hold back death, because He's found a ransom
Rejuvenation will take place and prayers will be accepted

This man will say that "I have sinned but the Lord has forgiven me
He has rescued me now from the grave and my life is filled with light!"
God will often do this deed and turn men from the grave
To bring about Enlightenment and bring light to the living

Listen Job, unless you speak, allow me to continue
Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar too, together let's discern what's good
Job proclaims he is innocent and God has taken his rights
He claims that he has done no wrong and everyone calls him a liar

He's been inflicted with incurable disease despite his lack of sin
Has there ever been such an arrogant man as Job with his lofty talk?

He seeks the company of evil ones, spends time with wicked men
He's even said "why waste time in trying to please God?"
Anyone with wisdom knows this truth, that God just does not sin
He treats people accordingly, God just does no wrong

Who set this glorious world in motion
With an abundance of diversified life
If He decides to withdraw His breath
Then to dust will all be consigned

Could God really govern if He hated justice
Could you accuse Him of taking a bribe
Does He pay more attention to a king or diplomat
Does a homeless man pass Him by

He created all, we are all the same
He sees everything we do
No darkness can hide any hurtful desires
Any moment His judgement will ensue 

Why can't people say to God 
I have sinned, I will sin no more
Tell me where I have gone wrong
So I can do no wrong no more

It seems to me that you expect
God to tailor his ways 
Because you reject His justice set
Are you above the law?

Add rebellion and blasphemy to your sins 
Your knowledge and wisdom have disappeared 
Job, your words have let you down
You have spoken against the Almighty's crown

Is it right to claim righteousness before God
To say "what's the use, what's the point, how does it benefit me?"
Look up high, to the heavens and I'll ask you this
If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him?
Commit atrocities, what effect will it have on Him?
If you're good, is this a great gift to Him?
 Job, what could you possibly give to Him?

Your sins dear Job only affect you now
Good deeds dear Job may bring help, help to those around you
The oppressed cry out, they may scream and shout
They don't lay the blame at the Almighty's hand
But if they do, it's the ones that reject his word
He will not respond to great untruths

But it's wrong to say that He doesn't hear
It is wrong to say that He is not concerned
It is wrong to say that He doesn't see
The failure of man 

It is wrong to expect His immediate justice
It is wrong to expect His immediate anger
Who are we to call out 'Time'
Job, your cries are in vain

Add rebellion and blasphemy to your sins 
Your knowledge and wisdom have disappeared 
Job, your words have let you down
You have spoken against the Almighty's crown

God is mighty, He does not despise
He is mighty in power and understanding.
 Don't think the wicked will be forever there
He gives justice to the afflicted

His eyes don't leave the innocent
He will raise them up to glory
If they should stray from the righteous path
He will make them see their evils

If man obeys and serves our God
In paradise they would live
But disobey, they pass away
Without any knowledge, in adversity

Men refuse to cry out for help to Him 
Even when He is the One punishing
Unbelievers unable to open their ears
Through suffering and oppression, that's the time to hear
The word of God is there
If only they would listen

But you good people become too obsessed
That the wicked will not be judged
But this should not concern you
Leave to God to do instead

But watch yourselves more importantly
That you are not seduced by wealth
Consumed by consumerism, seduced by sin
Does that bring you peace and health?

God is all powerful, who can teach like He
Who can call Him to account or question His good deeds?
Bring glory to His mighty works and sing your songs of praise
Look in wonder at His creation, be humbled to your knees

See the signs in mother nature, His voice is there to hear
Thunder, lightning, wind and rain, who gave life to these?
The beauty of the single snowflake to the hurricanes out at sea
There to pleasure, there to fear, there for life we need

Listen Job and pay attention to the wonderful miracles of God
Tell us now with all your wisdom and I shall keep my peace
Do you know how the clouds are formed or how to silence the winds
 Or keep us covered from the rays of sun that protect all man and beast

You think that you know oh so much, so tell us how we should speak
Should God be told that I do talk, despite my ignorance
I know our God is the Almighty and full of love and grace
Let all men fear Him, as all with wisdom, give reverence to His Name
