This song really ministered to me today. I heard it many times on the radio. It seems as though sometimes this is the way God talks to me the most. So please bear with me as I share the words to this great song by Casting Crowns and see what you get out of it. If you want to leave a comment, I would love to know if you would like to share, what the words say to you.

Praise You in This Storm
by Casting Crowns

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

I just need to remember that His way is not our way and that even through the storms in our lives, God sees the hurt and hurts with us. A card that was sent to me by my sister really helped also. It said that God is catching all our tears and turning them to pearls. He will make something beautiful out of something so ugly as death. How this is is a mystery to me but I do know that in this storm right now, God is teaching me a lot about Him and myself. And I will praise Him in this storm...

I am blessed with beautiful boys...

Count my blessings.
