praise you in this storm

Published Oct 24, 2008

I was introduced to this song at a funeral two weeks ago.  My 1st cousin's wife, 34, died unexpectedly, leaving behind her husband, a 3 year old, 9 year old, and 11 year old.

Through these difficult days, it's hard NOT to ask why.  This song has brought some comfort.  I hope to pass along some hope and comfort to those who might need it.

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

I've never heard the song, but the lyrics are beautiful.

I am so sorry to learn of the death of your cousin, esp. one so young leaving behind a husband and young children. They will be in my prayers, as well as our soldiers around the world. Thank you for this song, you posted this @ a very appropriate time for me also.

Thank you all for your kind and sincere posts. Just been struggling with this, and my heart is broken for my cousins.

newmommy, I heard Homesick for the first time earlier today. Wow, I was not ready for that song, and of course, the tears rolled.

I love that song...another great one is Homesick by Mercyme...get a tissue!

Beautiful thank you!

Praying for all.

God bless.

Beautiful song. Thanks for sharing it.

Patton, I'm so sorry for your families loss, especially such young children to be without their mother. My sincere condolences.

This is amazing, praying for our troops.Thank you for sharing this.

wow! thank you so much for sharing, God protect our troops and their families... while I had seen most of those photos, I had heard the song...wish we would have played it at our memorial service last week for the Fallen Heroes...sigh...
