Casting Crowns Songs

I will praise you in the Storm
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
Sing it with me as we lift up thanksgiving and praise that our help DOES come from the Lord. No matter what is happening here, no matter how frustrated I get with the overwhelming feeling of helplessness… Let me never forget to keep on praising my LORD and Savior.
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives and takes away…

My missionary sister BETH posted the following on her blog...This song by Casting Crowns not only reminds me, but speaks to what is going on around me. My Lord is always enough!!!

In this dry and weary land; Lord you are the rain.

In the sea of shattered ones; Your love comes rushing in.

You hold the world within your hands and see each tear that falls .

Thru every fire and every storm

Your always enough, Your always enough.

Keep my heart in perfect peace; my life is in your hands.

When confusion hides my way

Your always enough, always enough

Your love is peace to the broken; faith for the widow; hope for the orphan;

Strength for the weak.Your love is the anthem of nations; rings out thru the ages

And your always enough for me.

I rejoice for my Savior reigns

I rejoice for He lives in me

God on high He has set me free

Worthy is the Lamb.
