When my father hit me and I ran away,
crying and angry I came to you that day.
I asked you to help me but got no reply
my heart was so broken I wanted to die.
Where were you?
When I was alone and scared,
humilliated and laughed at and no one cared..
Where were you?
Each time my fear overcame my mind
and it seemed like peace I would never find.
Where were you?
Then one day God said to me,
"I loved you so much that I died on a tree..
Where were you?
For you I was beaten and bruised,
humilliated and laughed at; I was abused.
Where were you?
For many years you ran away
and would not hear what I tried to say.
Where were you?
I answered your prayers but you did not know,
I told you to walk this way, but you did not go..
Where were you?"
I finally saw that God was right there
and He was not the one who did not care.
He told me things that I refused to hear,
never acknowledging that he was very near.
It was never God who was far away,
it was me who would not listen to what He had to say.
