A                                          A
I thought of all the questions that my human mind could bring,
    A                                      G               A
I laid them out before the Lord demanded reason for these things
    A                                                   A
I asked about inequality and the success of evil men,
         A                             C                  D
But what was I to say to Him, when He answered with this question…..


   A                              G           D
Where were you, when I split the sky and the sea
A                                 G         D
Where were you, when I taught the lion to roar
  A                           G      D
Where were you, when I made electricity,  fall from the sky in the 
middle of a thunderstorm,
     A
Where were you


    A                              A
Well I had no response, I had no reply
   A                                G            A
As the One who spoke, is the truth opened up my eyes
   A                                               A
I laid my mortal doubts at the feet of the infinite
      A                                                         C   D
What was left for me to say, when he answered with this question….


                      A           G           D
Where were you, when I split the sky and the sea
                     A             G       D
Where were you, when I taught the lion to roar
        A                     G      D
Where were you, when I made electricity,  fall from the sky in the 
middle of a thunderstorm,
        A                      G            D
Where were you when I put the stars in the sky
        A                         G        D
Where were you when I taught the eagle to fly
       A                                G          D            F
Where were you when I made that little child look just like her mom, 
                 E
but she had her daddy’s eyes
        A
Where were you
