Where Were You

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 banks and stretched the line over
 All the earth and carved out its corner stone?
 ♪
 Where were you the day that I spoke and
 Told the sun to split the night open
 Calmed 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
 Hung 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 armoury I hold
 Snow and haild 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 the channels for torrents
 Rain to sprout the desert with forest
 In the wilderness that my hand has built
 
 Can you hunt the prey for your lions
 Can you use the chords of Orion
 Is this whole world bening 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
