Who by Caroline Cobb | Based on Job 38-42:1-16 Words and music by Caroline Cobb Smith We demand answers Though we are creatures and He is creator His ways are higher For we are the made and He is the maker And He answers us by asking us Who makes the sun in the morning rise Who brings the light to the baby’s eyes Commands the sea and its proud waves And all the earth’s foundations laid Who keeps the snow in a storehouse great Who gives us life and takes it away Who clothes himself in majesty Deserves the honor, deserves the glory Though we want answers We know we are creatures and He is creator His ways are higher For we are the made and He is the maker And we bow down Put our hands over our mouths When we don’t understand When it’s dark as night We are in your hands We are in your light | 7/10/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
