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
Things too wonderful for me

Although I had no right to ask
G
My God knelt and answered me
