Praise You In This Storm

Alright. Enough of hiding behind my videos. Now is the time for me to get our there and sing my heart out for the Lord in praise! In good times or bad.

I got some words wrong, but hey, this is live and unedited! I love the lyrics, which speaks of faith in the Lord’s love and provision amid incomprehensible personal suffering. Powerful stuff.

I only did a cover. Here is the original – Casting Crowns. I love their music, which rings true, and is Biblical.

Here are the lyrics:

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 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
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

I pray that you are blessed! And for those of you who have made down to the bottom of this post, here is a treat for you: the same song sung by someone who can actually sing!
