Where Were You (Ghost Ship)

Verse 1, 4, and 5 Em Verse 2 and 3 Am Verse 1: I said G God, I do not understand this world Em Everything is dying and broken C G 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 Verse 2: He said Where were you the day that I measured Sunk the base and stretched the line over All the earth and carved out it's cornerstone Where were you the day that I spoke and Told the sun to split the night open Called the morning dawn with its light to show Verse 3: Who shut in the ocean with stone doors Marked the reach of tides on those new shores On 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 Verse 4: Have you seen the armory I hold Snow and hail 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 Verse 5: Who has cleft the channel for torrents Rain to sprout the desert with forests In the wilderness that my hand has built Can you hunt the prey for young Lions Can you loose the chords of Orion Is this whole world bending beneath your will Outro: D C I spoke of things I did not understand D Things too wonderful for me C Although I had no right to ask G My God knelt and answered me
Where Were You (Ghost Ship)
Key: G
Verse 1, 4, and 5
Em


Verse 2 and 3
Am


Verse 1:

I said
G

God, I do not understand this world
Em

Everything is dying and broken
C                                 G

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
 
Verse 2:

He said
Where were you the day that I measured
Sunk the base and stretched the line over
All the earth and carved out it's cornerstone
 
Where were you the day that I spoke and
Told the sun to split the night open
Called the morning dawn with its light to show
 
Verse 3:

Who shut in the ocean with stone doors
Marked the reach of tides on those new shores
On 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
 
Verse 4:

Have you seen the armory I hold
Snow and hail 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
 
Verse 5:

Who has cleft the channel for torrents
Rain to sprout the desert with forests
In the wilderness that my hand has built
 
Can you hunt the prey for young Lions
Can you loose the chords of Orion
Is this whole world bending beneath your will
 
Outro:

    D                               C

I spoke of things I did not understand
                           D

Things too wonderful for me
                             C

Although I had no right to ask
                            G

My God knelt and answered me


Where Were You (Ghost Ship)
Verse 1, 4, and 5

Verse 2 and 3

Verse 1
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

Verse 2
He said
Where were you the day that I measured
Sunk the base and stretched the line over
All the earth and carved out it's cornerstone

Where were you the day that I spoke and
Told the sun to split the night open
Called the morning dawn with its light to show

Verse 3
Who shut in the ocean with stone doors
Marked the reach of tides on those new shores
On 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

Verse 4
Have you seen the armory I hold
Snow and hail 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

Verse 5
Who has cleft the channel for torrents
Rain to sprout the desert with forests
In the wilderness that my hand has built

Can you hunt the prey for young Lions
Can you loose the chords of Orion
Is this whole world bending beneath your will

Outro
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
