Praise you in this storm...

These past few days have been very difficult for me as I have seen the destruction around me and feel a bit more upset everytime the sky opens up. Tonight we had our weekly Spiritual Night and Annie played a song for us that I think we could all relate to very well during this difficult time. (In both a literal sense and a figurative sense). It is by a Christian Rock group named Casting crowns. I suggest everyone download it. The lyrics are beautiful.

Casting Crowns
Praise you in this storm

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 its 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 that gives / And takes away.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 herd 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 that gives / And takes away 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 stormI lift my eyes into the hills / Where does my help come from? / My help comes from the Lord / The maker of Heaven and EarthI lift my eyes into the hills / Where does my help come from? / My help comes from the Lord / The maker of Heaven and Earth.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/And though my heart is torn / I will Praise You in this storm
