[G]
I said, God, I do not understand this world.
Everything is dying and [C] broken.
Why do I see nothing but [G] suffering?
God, I'm asking, could this be your plan?
Sin has taken hold of this whole [C] land.
Will you not say anything else to [G]
me?
He said, where were you the day that I measured?
[Am] Sunk the base and stretched the line over
[C] All the earth and carved out its [G] cornerstone.
Where were you the day that I spoke [Am] and
Told the sun to split the night open?
[C] Called the morning dawn with its light to [G] show.
Who shut in the ocean with stone [Am] doors?
Marked the reach of tides on those new [C] shores.
On the day the waves rose and first [G] broke forth.
Have you seen the springs of that great [Am] sea?
Walked the caverns carved in the black knee?
[C] Threw the gates of darkness there on its [G] floor.
Have you seen the armory I [Em] hold?
Snow and hail are stacked up inside [C] oaths.
For the times of trouble and war [G] and strife.
Can you raise your voice to the [Em] storm cloud?
Put the thunder and surrender and ring [C] out.
Does the lightning ask you where it [G] should strike?
Who has cleft the channel for the [Em] torrents?
Rain to sprout the desert with [C] forests.
In the wilderness that my hand has [G] spelled.
Can you harm the prey for your diet?
[E]
Can you [Em] loose the cords of all rise?
[C]
This whole world bending beneath [G] your weight.
[D] I smelt the things I did not understand.
Things [C] too wonderful for [D] me.
Although I had no right to [C] ask.
My God, Nelton answered [G] me.
I said, God, I do not understand this world.
Everything is dying and [C] broken.
Why do I see nothing but [G] suffering?
God, I'm asking, could this be your plan?
Sin has taken hold of this whole [C] land.
Will you not say anything else to [G]
me?
He said, where were you the day that I measured?
[Am] Sunk the base and stretched the line over
[C] All the earth and carved out its [G] cornerstone.
