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 G
Sin has taken hold of this whole land
G C G
Will You not say anything else to me?
G
He said where were you the day that I measured
D Am C
sunk the banks and stretched the line over
C G
all the earth and carved out its corner stone?
G
Where were you the day that I spoke and
D Am C
told the sun to split the night open
C G
caused the morning dark with its light to show
G
Who shut in the ocean with stone doors
D Am C
marked the reach of tides on those new shores
C G
hung the day the waves rose and first broke forth
G
Have you seen the springs of that great sea
D Am C
walked the caverns carved in the black deep
C G
through the gates of darkness there on its floor
G
Have you seen the armoury i hold
D Am C
snow and hail are stacked up in silos
C G
for the times of trouble and war and strife
G
Can you raise your voice to the storm cloud
D Am C
would the thunder answer and ring out
C G
does the lightning ask you where it should strike
G
Who has cleft the channels for torrents
D Am C
rain to sprout the desert with forest
C G
in the wilderness that my hand has built
G
Can you hunt the prey for your lions
D Am C
can you use the cords of orion
C G
is this whole world bending beneath your will?
D C
I spoke of things I did not 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
