[Verse 1]
I sat beneath the evening sky, weary from my load,
With callused hands and heavy heart, walking this rough road.
I whispered to the heavens high, "Lord, do You even see?
Why must the trials rain down, why question me?"
[Verse 2]
The crops don't yield, the barn door swings, the wolves are at the gate,
And every prayer I've sent to You seems met by twist of fate.
I asked aloud, "Oh Great Divine, is this how love should be?
If You are kind, then tell me why question me?"
[Chorus]
And the thunder replied in a voice so strong,
"My child, My love has been here all along.
Through fire and flood, through stormy sea,
I guide you onward—why question Me?"
[Verse 3]
The river rose, my soul near drowned, I'd almost lost my grace,
But there in muddy waters, I saw my Savior's face.
He pulled me up, He set me free; now I begin to see,
Why silence echoed loud when I questioned Thee.
[Verse 4]
"My child," He said, "your strength will rise through burdens you've endured,
And each hard step you've trod alone has kept your heart assured.
For wisdom grows through burning thorns, though they bite and sting,
Your trials are the crown of life, why question Me?"
[Chorus]
And the thunder replied in a voice so strong,
"My child, My love has been here all along.
Through fire and flood, through stormy sea,
I guide you onward—why question Me?"
