Praise You In This Storm

Well, now that my blog is private, I feel like I can pour my heart out a little more freely than before. This past week has been crazy emotional for me for lots of reasons. Some are huge, others are small and pale in comparsion to others issues but all have had me reeling and reaching out for Something bigger than myself. Someone to hold on to, Someone to believe in, Someone to trust, Someone to Praise...this song has been playing non-stop, everywhere I go and has been my constant reminder of how I need to praise God even when I don't feel like it or even when I wonder where He is...

Praise You in This Storm - Casting Crowns

words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie
Herms

I was sure by now, God,

that You would have reached down

and wiped our tears away,

stepped in and saved the day.

But once again,

I say amen and

it's still raining

as the thunder rolls

I barely hear You whisper through the rain,

"I'm with you"

and as Your mercy falls

I raise my hands

and praise the God who gives

and takes away.

Chorus:

And I'll praise you in this storm

and I will lift my hands

for You are who You are

no matter where I am

and every tear I've cried

You hold in your hand

You never left my side

and though my heart is torn

I will praise You in this storm


I remember when

I stumbled in the wind

You heard my cry to You

and raised me up again

my strength is almost gone

how can I carry on if I can't find You

and as the thunder rolls

I barely hear You whisper through the rain

"I'm with you"

and as Your mercy falls

I raise my hands and praise the God who gives

and takes away

Chorus: And I'll praise you in this storm

and I will lift my hands for

You are who You are

no matter where I am

and every tear I've cried

You hold in your hand

You never left my side

and though my heart is torn

I will praise You in this storm


I lift my eyes onto the hills

where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord,

the maker of heaven and earth

I lift my eyes onto the hills

where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord,

the maker of heaven and earth

Chorus: And I'll praise you in this storm

and I will lift my hands

for You are who You are

no matter where I am

and every tear I've cried You hold in your hand

You never left my side

and though my heart is torn

I will praise You in this storm
