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
