Praise in the Storm

I think I've mentioned that Casting Crowns is one of David and my favorite groups. This song has spoken to me on more than one occasion and it continues to speak to me now. Read the words. They are so powerful!

Praise You in This Storm

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

Bridge:

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
