Where Were You - Ghost Ship

I said

«God, I do not understand this world

Everything is dying and broken

Why do I see nothing but suffering?

God, I’m asking could this be Your plan?

Sin has taken hold of this whole land

Will You not say anything else to me?"

He said

«Where were You the day that I measured

Sunk the base and stretched the line over

All the earth and carved out it’s cornerstone?

Where were You the day that I spoke and

Told the sun to split the night open

Called the morning dawn with its light to show?

Who shut in the ocean with stone doors

Marked the reach of tides on those new shores

On the day the waves rose and first broke forth?

Have you seen the springs of that great sea

Walked the caverns carved in the black deep

Through the gates of darkness there on its floor?

Have you seen the armory I hold?

Snow and hail are stacked up in silos

For the times of trouble and war and strife

Can you raise your voice to the storm cloud?

Would the thunder answer and ring out?

Does the lightning ask you where it should strike?

Who has cleft a channel for torrents

Rain to sprout the desert with forests

In the wilderness that My hand has filled?

Can you hunt the prey for young lions

Can you loose the chords of Orion

Is this whole world bending beneath your will?»

I spoke of things I did not understand

Things too wonderful for me

Although I had no right to ask

My God knelt and answered me
