The benefits of the disciplined

The benefits of the disciplined
by Joel Howard
see Job 5

Crash course in pain
Free credits abound
Take a seat in suffering's school
Hang around, hang around

The benefits of the disciplined
Who may feel they are cursed
Listen, my friend
You may not live the worst

First, you will know you are blessed
Second, you will be at rest
What God wounds, he will bind up
What is broken, will not drop

God's good heart
That is all
Character above your fall
Remind yourself
You are blessed
When discipline 
Has found you, friend

Six your troubles may now be
But disaster will not come close to thee
And in famine, you will eat
In sword-filled war, you will have peace

Come hide yourself when men fling words
You won't fear evil when they're heard
When all caves way, friend, you shall laugh
You will not fear the lion's path

You, my friend are set apart
You and yours, so at the start
Remember then, when discipline comes,
The benefits of the disciplined ones!

God's good heart
That is all
Character above your fall
Remind yourself
You are blessed
When discipline 
Has found you, friend
