Time to Focus on God

I just wanted to share the lyrics of a song that I really enjoy. It has helped to focus my mind on God when I am having a truly rough patch.

"I will Praise You in This Storm"
Casting Crowns

I was sure by now
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 Your whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”And as You mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will life my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
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
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry onIf I can’t find You

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

I absolutely love this song as well - it's a good reminder that God sees us & knows what happening...even through the storms of life. Thanks for sharing!

My boss at work has an excellent collection of Christian Music CD's.
He loaded some, including the newest Casting Crowns, onto our Engineering computer server and we both listen while working. Good Stuff there.
