Where Were You Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]
I said
[G]"God, I do not understand this world"
[Em]Everything is dying and broken
[C]Why do I see nothing but suffer[G]ing?
God, I'm asking could this be Your plan?
[Em]Sin has taken hold of this whole land
[C]Will You not say anything else to me?
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
He said
[G]"Where were You the day that I measured"
[Am]Sunk the base and stretched the line over
[C]All the earth and carved out
it's corner[G]stone?
Where were You the day that I spoke and
[Am]Told the sun to split the night open
[C]Called the morning dawn
with its light to [G]show?

[Verse 2]
[G]Who shut in the ocean with stone doors
[Am]Marked the reach of tides
on those new shores
[C]On the day the waves rose
and first broke [G]forth?
Have you seen the springs of that great sea
[Am]Walked the caverns carved
in the black deep
[C]Through the gates of darkness
there on its [G]floor?

[Verse 3]
[G]Have you seen the armory I hold?
[Em]Snow and hail are stacked up in silos
[C]For the times of trouble and war and str[G]ife
Can you raise your voice to the storm cloud?
[Em]Would the thunder answer and ring out?
[C]Does the lightning ask you
where it should [G]strike?

[Verse 4]
[G]Who has cleft a channel for torrents
[Em]Rain to sprout the desert with forests
[C]In the wilderness that My hand has fil[G]led?
Can you hunt the prey for young lions
[Em]Can you loose the chords of Orion
[C]Is this whole world bending
beneath your [G]will?

[Outro 1]
I [D]spoke of things I did not understand
[C]Things too wonderful for me[D]
Although I had no right to ask
[C]My God knelt and answered me[G]
