On this Good Friday, we remember that God came to earth, came down to the dirt, walked with us, and died for us. God is good. Jesus will reign forever. The book of Job is a powerful story of how God knelt to speak to us in the midst of our pain. God is present in your pain.

Song Info:

Where Were You
Performed by Ghost Ship
Written by Cam Huxford IV and Brian Eichelberger

Lyrics:

I said, God, I do not understand this world
Everything is dying and broken
Why do I see nothing but suffering
God, I'm asking, could this be your plan
Sin has taken hold of this whole land
Will You not say anything else to me

He said, where were you the day that I measured
Sunk the banks and stretched the line over
All the earth and carved out its cornerstone

Where were you the day that I spoke and
Told the sun to split the night open
Called the morning dawn with its light to show

Who shut in the ocean with stone doors
Marked the reach of tides on those new shores
Hung the day the waves rose and first broke forth

Have you seen the springs of that great sea
Walked the caverns carved in the black deep
Through the gates of darkness there on its floor

Have you seen the armory I hold
Snow and hail are stacked up in silos
For the times of trouble and war and strife

Can you raise your voice to the storm cloud
Would the thunder answer and ring out
Does the lightning ask you where it should strike

Who has cleft the channels for torrents
Rain to sprout the desert with forest
In the wilderness that my hand has filled

Can you hunt the prey for young lions
Can you use the chords of Orion
Is this whole world bending beneath your will

I spoke of things I did not understand
Things too wonderful for me
Although I had no right to ask
My God knelt and answered me
