I Will Praise You In The Storm

Ministry in Dance – Praise You In This Storm
“Praise You In This Storm”
Casting Crowns


I was sure by now
God 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 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 you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You

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

But 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 lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
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
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


It doesn’t matter what your storm looks like today – each storm we go through is unique to us.  We must learn not to compare our storms to others or others storms to ours.  Judgement is not useful and judgement comes from comparison.  We are unique individuals, each and every one.  What may seem like a storm to me may not impact you, what impacts you may seem minor to me.  The Bible tells us to support one another in love and encouragement – not to try to determine whether their storm is valid or not.

No matter the storm – no matter how hard, bitter, hurtful or hopeless it feels, God is always there – right in the midst of your storm.  Even if you can’t do anything else, open up your mouth and invite Him in.  He will hold you, walk beside you, carry you if necessary.  Praise is thanksgiving.  Thank Him even now for bringing you through, for strengthening and encouraging you and using this storm in your life and in the lives of those around you
Blessed even in the midst of the storm.
