Praise You In This Storm

When going through something-- not just anything-- but something crushing, breath takingly awful-- there may be a point you think "God should have stepped in by now!" When a problem, situation and issue seems like it will probably take your life away or you wish you were dead instead of going through heartache-- What will your response be to God? Will you choose to give up on Him? Or will you increase your devotion to Him?


Praise You In This Storm
by Casting Crowns in Lifesong

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

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

Wrap Me In Your Arms

Israel Houghton & New Breed

They came out with a new cd, "A Deeper Level," yesterday... remember this song from winterfest?

Song: For Who You Are

Verse:
Standing here in Your presence
Thinking of the good things You have done
Waiting here patiently
Just to hear Your still small voice again

PreChorus:
Holy, righteous, faithful to the end,
Saviour, healer, redeemer, and friend

Chorus:
I will worship You for who You are
I will worship You for who You are
I will worship You for who You are
Jesus (repeat)

Bridge:
My soul secure, Your promise sure
Your love endures always (2x)
