Where were You?

The cousin of a friend of mine wrote this beautiful song and I would like to share it with you now.
*****
Job 38-42
I've been down my LORD
But where were You?
I've been longing for Your face
I've been crying LORD
But where were You?
Where were Your comfort and Your grace?

I've been lonely LORD
But where were You?
Where were the days where You stood by me?
I've been waiting LORD
But where were You?
When will You speak to me again?

Then the LORD said
Where were you
When I formed the earth
When I spread the stars across the sky?
Can you raise your voice up to the clouds
And stop the storm with your word?
Have you journeyed tothe springs of the seas
Or walked in the recesses of the deep
Have the gates of death been shown to you
Now ask yourself if you know
All of these.

Bridge:
My ears have heard of You
But now my eyes have seen You
Therefore I despise myself
And repent in dust and ashes...
