Praise You In This Storm

I praise and worship daily through music. It's who I am. All this week, exactly one week now, I have repeatedly been reminded that I DO praise God in THIS storm. The words to this song (which has been on my blog for a very long time and loosely helped me form the title) have always meant so much to me. However, THIS WEEK THIS SONG has served as an in my face reminder that He is who He says He is. He IS the Creator of Heaven and earth. He IS where my help comes from.

Thank you Lord! I do praise You in this storm!


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.



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



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

tough times

Things have been so difficult the last few days. I decided to post about Keith's seizure. I was advised that it would help me cope with the trauma of it, but now that I'm here I'm not ready. It's too hard.

We're okay. We are home from the hospital. The process of Keith getting radiation will start tomorrow. I'm scared. I am so afraid that something is going to go wrong. I am also very, very tired. I know that getting caught up on sleep will help tremendously.

There are so many things that have changed so quickly. I haven't had time to adjust. My hope is that once we get into a routine and further away from the occurrence of the seizure, I will be able to relax some. For now though, that ain't happenin'!

Please just keep praying!
