Where Were You

       G
I said God I do not understand this 
world
Em                      G
everything is dying and broken
G                        C      G
why do I see nothing but suffering

G
God I'm asking could this be Your 
plan
Em                               
Sin has taken hold of this whole 
G
land
G                              C  
Will You not say anything else to 
G
me?

        G
He said where were you the day that 
I measured
D                  Am            
sunk the banks and stretched the 
              C
line over
C                              
all the earth and carved out its 
         G
corner stone?

G
Where were you the day that I spoke 
and
D                Am              
told the sun to split the night 
       C
open
C                              
caused the morning dark with its 
           G
light to show

G
Who shut in the ocean with stone 
doors
D                   Am           
marked the reach of tides on 
                C
those new shores
C                             
hung the day the waves rose and 
              G
first broke forth

G
Have you seen the springs of that 
great sea
D                  Am            
walked the caverns carved in the 
              C
black deep
C                                 
through the gates of darkness 
         G
there on its floor

G
Have you seen the armoury i hold
D                 Am         
snow and hail are stacked up in 
           C
silos
C                                 
for the times of trouble and war 
   G
and strife

G
Can you raise your voice to the 
storm cloud
D                 Am             
would the thunder answer and ring
       C
 out
C                                 
does the lightning ask you where 
         G
it should strike

G
Who has cleft the channels for 
torrents
D                   Am      
rain to sprout the desert with 
             C
forest
C                                  
in the wilderness that my hand has 
G
built

G
Can you hunt the prey for your lions
D               Am                C
can you use the cords of orion
C                                 
is this whole world bending 
       G
beneath your will?

  D                        
I spoke of things I did not 
 C
understand
           Em            D
things too wonderful for me
D                          C
although I had no right to ask
       D                  G
my God knelt and answered me
