Story behind the song
This song is about 9/11, and about the question that seemed to be on everyone's mind back then, Where was God in all of it? Why didn't He do anything to stop it? I've thought and prayed long and hard on it, and believe God's take on this is reflected in Luke 13:1-5. And in a nutshell, it is that things happen, and this life is not forever. And unless you repent you will all likewise perish. This may seem very harsh, but in reality, this life is very short, and we should be more concerned about the eternal. So out of that came this song. Enjoy.
Lyrics
Where Were You Twenty five years ago, out of the blue A plane struck a tower, and then there were two I remember it clearly, Im sure you do too And we think back, and ask, where were you? Where were you when the towers started to fall? Had you switched on the TV, did you see it all? I will never forget where I was on that day When the towers melted away. A friend had just crossed to the Mexico side And was stuck there alone till the panic subsided Another was flying and forced to drive back While we braced for another attack One missed her flight or she would have been there In the tower to die while we all said a prayer But Jesus, the one most asked is you; When it happened, just Where Were You? Where were you when the towers started to fall? Were you somewhere in Fresno, or off in Saint Paul? Were you out on vacation way down at the beach? Were those towers just out of reach? Well, the Lord isnt slack when it comes to such things Hes no doddering fool, hes the king of all kings Hes invisible, yes, but he heard every cry And he answered them all, by and by He was THERE when the towers started to fall And he held every hand when he heard each one call And he stood by their side, and he carried them home, Those who loved him and made him their own. The omnipotent omniscient almighty One Does not blink or grow tired, nor does He run And his hand does not shake while He holds everything May I ask you, have YOU made him king? He was THERE when the towers started to fall And he held every hand when he heard each one call And he stood by their side, and he carried them home, Those who loved him and made him their own.
