Praise Him In This Storm

Once again, I have a song for you. Throughout our struggle with infertility, this and "If You Want Me To" by Ginny Owens have been instrumental in calming my heart. I hope it speaks to you. If you have the opportunity, listen to the song; the music greatly enhances the lyrics.

PRAISE YOU IN THIS STORM
words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms (performed by Casting Crowns)...

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 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

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
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

I will praise You in this storm.
