Where Were You? (I Was There) Lyrics

(Written by John Redmon)

(Verse I)

Lord, I’ve been through the strongest storm

But I couldn’t find You.

The winds were blowing

Making my heart so weary growing.

But Lord, where were You?…

(Chorus)

When I needed a friend? When I needed a mother?

When I needed a father? When I needed sister?

When I needed a brother? When I needed a counselor And a Savior?

Lord, where were You?

(Verse II)

The storm grew oh so strong

That I was almost blown down.

The rains were the same.

They drenched my soul with grief and pain.

But Lord, where were You?

(Repeat Chorus)

(Tag)

You’ve promised that You would never leave me

Nor forsake me.

You’ve told me You would not put

More on me than I could bear.

But Lord I searched

Still I just could not find YOU!

(Resolution)

When I look back to see (All the time)

You were carrying me. And You were there.
