This song is so comforting!
I will praise you in this storm by Casting Crowns
Praise You in This Storm
words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms
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
Job 1:21b
The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."
These thoughts and understanding of scripture is the new direction of my blog, why the name change to "A Perplexing Journey" and so on. I firmly believe God has a purpose and a reasoning for the suffering I endure with my arthritis and infertility. I simply and humbly pray the He will use me and my situations to reach other for Him. My faith is in His salvation and the blessing eternal life will be. This earth will fade away so fast in the context of eternity. I believe it is then that I'll be able to be rid of this weak and frail frame and have a new heavenly purpose in life. It's this hope and thanksgiving that keeps me going. God is good, and I will praise Him in my storms!
As a side note, here is a very quick and concise devotional along these lines.
