"Where Were You?" lyrics

God, if I ever say I don't need you, I lied
But if I'm honest, where the hell are you?
'Cause I'm not sure the God I'm praying to is right
How can I know Your presence in a room?
They say Your voice is like a whisper in the night

So tell me what to do
I once believed you were a Father who would fight for his child

But where were You when I was captive to the Devil himself?
And where were You as I was tortured, bound up and thrown down to hell?
How could love look like that, look like that, where were You?
How could love hurt so bad, hurt so bad?

God, I don't wanna be a victim to my mind
I'm just confused and at a loss of where to turn
There's a darkness and it's coming for my life
So where's my refuge promised in Your word
If You're the shepherd, who will lead the ninety nine?

If I'm the one who's hurt
I once believed you were a Father who would fight for his child

But where were You when I was captive to the Devil himself?
And where were You as I was tortured, bound up and thrown down to hell?
How could love look like that, look like that, where were You?
How could love hurt so bad, hurt so bad?

And look tonight, there's a god somewhere in the ether
But does he love his child like it's written in the scripture?

How could love look like that, look like that, where were You?
How could love hurt so bad, hurt so bad?
How could love look like that, look like that, where were You?
How could love hurt so bad, hurt so bad?

How does love look like that?
God, how does love hurt so bad?
