I Will Praise You In This Storm

I recently went through a very rough time. It seemed like everything was piling up on my head and I felt like I was going to crack. This song was a wonderful reminder that my Heavenly Father is with me not just in the good times and that even in the hard times, when nothing seems to be going right, it is AT LEAST as important to praise God as it is when things are going well.

I Will Praise You In This Storm, by Casting Crowns 

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 

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 

Chorus
