The Porter’s Gate
Where Were You?
[Verse 1]
Where were you
When I laid the Earth's foundations?
Morning stars, they sang together
All the children of the heavens shouted for joy
Where were you?
[Verse 2]
Where were you
When I gave the sea its limits?
When I made the clouds its garments?
When I wrapped up in darkness, shut behind doors?
Where were you?
[Chorus]
Tell Me, wherе were you
When thе waters split in two?
When the world was new?
When I said, "Good morning, dew"?
Show Me where were you
[Verse 3]
Do you know
The extent of all the horizon?
The expanse of all the oceans?
Have you walked these depths and edges
Mountains and shores?
[Verse 4]
Do you know
How I lead the constellations
And the rhythm of the seasons?
And did you set free Orion shine in the void?
Do you know?
[Chorus]
Tell Me, do you know
How the light knows where to go?
Where the winds will go?
Where the darkness makes its home?
Surely you must know
[Verse 5]
I don't know
But in the whirlwind of my weakness
O, my God, I hear You speaking
When I think of all Your secrets
I shake and rejoice
