Praise You in this Storm

I am posting this song for a dear friend this morning. She knows who she is. She knows why I am posting this. She knows that she is on my heart. She knows I wish I could stop the pain just as I wished the pain would stop when I traveled my own road. Dear friend, I am so sorry. I wish so badly I could fix this. I love you friend. This is for you.

If you are in the midst of a storm, Click here to listen to this song: "Praise You in This Storm" by Casting Crowns. Here are the lyrics. I would really suggest you read the lyrics as you listen to the song.

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

In agreement w/ you Wen. One of my favorite scriptures is in Proverbs....He's my Strong Tower. I can run to Him and be safe.
Praying for comfort and a safe place for your friend.
