praise you in this storm.

a friend of mine is going through a huge trial in her life. without going into specifics of it, she has a very long two years ahead of her.  

during worship time today at church, i glanced over and saw tears running down her face. she was brought to tears during the songs. i went over to her in the middle of a song and gave her a hug and let her cry on my shoulder. tears ran down my face as i stood and held her while she let her tears out. i can not imagine what she is going through of the road that she has ahead of her. but i know that God will bring her through it.  He will be there to be a witness to other people and spread His word.

now to my title of this post.  as i was cleaning, i was listening to my ipod.  a song by casting crowns called "praise you in this storm" came on.  i began to cry.  she is facing a huge storm in her life but He will be there for her. 

so, if you have a storm in your life that you are facing, having the faith that God will always bring you through it. 

          

always seek Him. 

"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", and 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

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 you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

But 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
