I wanted to share a song that has meant a lot to me over the course of the last eleven weeks that is no stranger to many of you. The song is “Praise you in this storm” by Casting Crowns. There are many times that I hear a song that I really like, but sometimes the lyrics jump out and hit me when I am going through specific circumstances. This is one of those songs.
First, I wanted to share a story about this song. It is a song that I have always liked, and the words started to become much more meaningful while in the hospital. After I was home, I received a Get Well card from my sister and brother-in-law in Connecticut. When I opened the card, “I will praise you in this storm” started playing. It is something that I really needed at that moment, and there was no doubt in my mind that it was a God moment. Thank you Kevin and Katie for allowing God to use you to encourage me.
Below are the lyrics to the song:
“Praise You In This Storm”
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
[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 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
[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
