lyrics

Who made the mountains?
And who shakes the Earth
and makes its pillars tremble?
Who told the sun when not to rise?
Who made the stars?

Who made Orion and The Bear?
The Seven Sisters
and the constellations of the South?
Who set forth the stars
and put the sea in its place?
if He passed me by
He’s like a form behind a veil
and if He takes my life
who will ask Him why?

How can I choose my words
to plead the mercy of my Judge?
If I called and He came
I would not believe that He had heard my voice

I am pierced by His thorn
and I still can’t catch my breath
I am soaked in bitterness

If it’s a question of strength
It’s You
You are strong

My days slip by like reed boats
and then they are gone
I’m washed in the snow
my hands cleansed with lye
I’m thrown to the ditch
so even my clothes would despise me
