Praise You In This Storm

Not sure why this song has been in my head lately, as I feel like I am now on the other side of my latest "storm." But, perhaps one of you is going through your own "storm." If so, this is for you.

PS: I love the verse taken from the Bible that I have bolded. I hope you enjoy the link to the song on You Tube and the lyrics as much as I do!

Praise You in this Storm
(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 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
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 whenI stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You
But 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
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 lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

Mary,
That is one of my favorite songs and that bible verse has gotten me through some very tough times. I even have it hanging on the door to my fridge so when I have a bad day all I have to do is look there and I am reminded where my help comes from.

Thank you for posting it.
