Praise you in this storm

Today has been a very good day. I was able to go to the beach, spend time with my grandmother and watch a very good fight. I'm still disappointed that Penn lost though. It was cool though because we found a new hole in the wall spot to watch the fights. Anyways, while I was at the beach the song "Praise You in this storm" kept popping into my head and I was wondering why it wouldn't leave. I thought about it and realized that when you praise God all the time it feels as if you are secure in Him and everything is in His control. That song has been a long time favorite of mine and it's meaning is still true today just the same as it was when I got laid off back in 2006. Here are the lyrics for the song and now it's time for my old self to go to bed. . .zzzzzzz

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

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


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
