[Verse 1]
I said
GGod, I do not understand this world
EmEverything is dying and broken
CWhy do I see nothing but sufferingG
GGod, I'm asking could this be your plan
EmSin has taken hold of this whole land
CWill you not say anything else to meG
[Verse 2]
He said
GWhere were you the day that I measured
AmSunk the base and stretched the line over
CAll the earth and carved out it's cornerstGone
GWhere were you the day that I spoke and
AmTold the sun to split the night open
CCalled the morning dawn with its light to shGow
[Verse 3]
GWho shut in the ocean with stone doors
AmMarked the reach of tides on those new shores
COn the day the waves rose and first broke forGth
GHave you seen the springs of that great sea
AmWalked the caverns carved in the black deep
CThrough the gates of darkness there on its floGor
[Verse 4]
GHave you seen the armory I hold
EmSnow and hail are stacked up in silos
CFor the times of trouble and war and strifeG
GCan you raise your voice to the storm cloud
EmWould the thunder answer and ring out
CDoes the lightning ask you where it should strGike
[Verse 5]
GWho has cleft the channel for torrents
EmRain to sprout the desert with forests
CIn the wilderness that my hand has builGt
GCan you hunt the prey for young Lions
EmCan you loose the chords of Orion
CIs this whole world bending beneath your willG
[Outro]
I spDoke of things I did not understaCnd
Things too wonderful for meD
Although I had no right to asCk
My God knelt and answered meG
