praise you in this storm!

Verse 1:
I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
And stepped in and saved the day
Once again, I say Amen, and it is still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear you whisper through the rain
I'm with you
As your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

Chorus:
I'll Praise you in this storm
And I will lift my hands
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

Verse 2:
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
As your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

Chorus

Bridge:
I lift my eyes into the hills
Where does my help come from
My help comes from the Lord
The maker of heaven and earth

Romans 8:28 / 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Psalm 42:5 / Psalm 121:1-2
Job 1:20-21 / Daniel 3:16-18

This song by Casting Crowns is surely one of my favourites. Its lyrics remind me very much of "Blessed be your Name" and everytime I hear this song I think how blessed I am. Even in the midst of my storms I have my God who is with me, my God who is the maker of Heaven and Earth! Praise be to God for his unfailing love, and his everlasting promises!
