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
CHORUS 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
CHORUS 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
