Praise You in This Storm

When I first heard this song on our Christian radio station I was utterly shocked. Could it be that WCTL has lifted their ban of good songs from their broadcasting? It must be a fluke. This song must have slipped through their strict song control security. I mean, this song actually quotes Scripture! And a Psalm at that! Well, I've gotten over my shock now and I have to say that this song is wonderful. It brings tears to my eyes when I hear the honest words being sung that my own heart has sung many times.



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 You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as You mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

CHORUS
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

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
