Welcome to the Sober is Dope Podcast with your host, POP Buchanan. This episode is about faith, an not losing hope when things fall apart. Inspired by the Book of Job, this short episode calls us to learn from our Rock Bottom experiences. Thank to to Alan Smith from Bible Hub for your summary of the Book of Job, and Dead can Dance for this amazing song.

How Fortunate the Man with None

Lyrics

You saw sagacious Solomon

You know what came of him

To him, complexities seemed plain

He cursed the hour that gave birth to him

And saw that everything was vain

How great and wise was Solomon

The world, however, did not wait

But soon observed what followed on

It's wisdom that had brought him to this state

How fortunate the man with none

You saw courageous Caesar next

You know what he became

They deified him in his life

Then had him murdered just the same

And as they raised the fatal knife

How loud he cried "you too my son!"

The world, however, did not wait

But soon observed what followed on

It's courage that had brought him to that state

How fortunate the man with none

You heard of honest Socrates

The man who never lied

They weren't so grateful as you'd think

Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried

And handed him the poisoned drink

How honest was the people's noble son

The world, however, did not wait

But soon observed what followed on

It's honesty that brought him to that state

How fortunate the man with none

Here you can see respectable folk

Keeping to God's own laws

So far he hasn't taken heed

You who sit safe and warm indoors

Help to relieve out bitter need

How virtuously we had begun

The world, however, did not wait

But soon observed what followed on

It's fear of God that brought us to that state

How fortunate the man with none
