Lyrics:

Where Were You?(I Was There)
(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?...

(Refrain)
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?

(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 Refrain)

(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.
