Where Was I? Poem by Liilia Talts Morrison

Where was I when it happened
when young stars chose to sing
and all the host of heaven
dwelt in eternal Spring

A time when all creation
was fresh and filled with awe
hills, lands and seas established
as God put forth his law

Where was I when the darkness
transformed to night and day
and when the first small raindrop
fell on the new formed clay

No, I was but a cypher
a thought, a hope, a dream
a soul in mortal body
a part of heaven's scheme

Don't ask me then to ponder
the depth of worlds unseen
or eyes to probe and wander
dark secret things to glean

All answers have been written
all secrets long revealed
they live in those whose spirit
with truth and love are sealed

There's nothing left to strive for
it's all been reconciled
upon the cross of Jesus
when drawn there like a child

Where was I when it happened
when young stars chose to sing
and all the host of heaven
dwelt in eternal Spring?
