my current theme song

Okay, one more and then I'm turning in.

A friend of mine just sent me an email saying that she was thinking of me because of a song she heard in the car. I'd heard this song before lots of times but really never listened to all the words. There is one line that has sunk home with me. It is the truth for my life right now... "and though my heart is torn I will praise you in this storm" It's so moving, so true and very fitting. I think this can apply to everyone, no matter what the storm is you are going through, you can still praise Him in it.

Casting Crowns: 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
that 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
that 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 you 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 unto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
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

Psalms 121:1&2 "I lift my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? my help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."


and though my heart is torn
I will praise you in this storm
