Where Were You

I thought up all the questions that my human mind could bring

And laid them out before the Lord

And demanded a reason for these things

I asked about inequality and about the success of evil men

But what was I to say to Him

When He answered with this question

Where were you when I split the sky and sea

Where were you when I taught the lion to roar

Where were you when I made electricity

Fall from the sky in the middle of a thunderstorm

Where were you

I had no response, I had no reply

As the One who spoke and is the Truth opened up my eyes

I laid my time of doubt at the feet of the Infinite

But what was left for me to say

When He answered with this question

Where were you when I split the sky and sea

Where were you when I taught the lion to roar

Where were you when I made electricity

Fall from the sky in the middle of a thunderstorm

Where were you when I put stars in the sky

Where were you when I taught the eagle to fly

Where were you when I made that little child look just like

Her mom but she had her Daddy's eyes

Where were you

Where were you when I split the sky and sea

Where were you when I taught the lion to roar

Where were you when I made electricity

Fall from the sky in the middle of a thunderstorm

Where were you when I put stars in the sky

Where were you when I taught the eagle to fly

Where were you when I made that little child look just like

Her mom but she had her Daddy's eyes

Where were you
