PRAISE YOU IN THIS STORM - casting crownsI 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 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'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift 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 on
If 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
CHORUS
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
(repeat)
CHORUS
Though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
this song has so much.. reality. maybe for some people your lives are way perfect, and don't seem to have that many difficult trials in your life.. yet. well then i can say to you 'good for you' but there may be an disadvantage. because normally its those who goes through trials come out much more mature and more appreciative of simple things in life, and of God's love.
don't you find it so true sometimes? you cry out to God so much, but yet it still rains. you don't have a choice on whether it is so rain or not. but you can choose how to handle it, how to look at it.
&, if you ever wondered how tiffany can be pretty happy most of the time, that song is the answer for you (:
the strategy to be optimistic nearly all the time =) & sometimes, its easier than you think.
