Praise You in This Storm

I love the lyrics to "Praise You in This Storm" by Casting Crowns. In the past couple of years, it has seemed to me that I could relate to them more than ever before for various reasons. Every time I listen to this song, I am reminded that whatever we are going through, whether it seem good or bad, God is there, directing all things according to His glory and our good. It is an important message to be reminded of, so I thought I would share these lyrics with you.

Praise You in This Storm

I was sure by now

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 Your 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'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
