05. Where Were You?

As Long As I Have Breath
by Jason Whitehorn

Lyrics:

You've seen my cheek stained with tears
You've seen my anger lashed out
Questions that I've been searching for
The answers that I'm without
You've seen me question Your will
Knowing I didn't make the plans
Though I've kept You at a distance
I was still in Your hands

Where were You when my hope was gone
Where were You, why'd You leave me alone

He was at a grave in a tear
In a hospital bed
When you lost your job, He cried too
In tears formed of red
When your world came crashing down
And you were suffering a loss
God was at the cross

You see me searching for reasons
To answers that I can't even say
Why'd the woman with cancer
Have to die today?
Was it Your time to have her go
Or my will to make her stay
And to understand the price that was paid
For her to be with You today

You were by her side til the end
Then you walked her through the gates
And as you cried, He was there
And He held your heart in place
Our pain alone does not compare
To the burden that He bought
When God was at the cross

All these unanswered questions
And these words that are left unsaid
Still you understand that life comes from death

He was on a hill called Calvary
Where He gave His life for you and me
The pain you know, He knows too
He gladly bore it all for you
When your world came crashing down
You were suffering your loss
God was at the cross
