Praise You in This Storm

One of my favorrte groups is Casting Crowns; their music and lyrics are a great witness in this day and age.  The song below comes to my mind so often after I read posts of friends who have had more than their share of heartbreak and hard times so I thought I would post it.  It has helped me more than once and I know it will help me again, maybe it will help someone else as well. I was sure by now God 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 Your whisper through the rain “I’m with you” And as You mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives And takes away I’ll praise You in this storm And I will lift my hands For You are who You are No matter where I am 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 You raised me up again My strength is almost gone How can I carry on If I can’t find You 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 I lift my eyes unto the hills Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord The Maker of Heaven and Earth Praise you in This Storm by Casting Crowns
