Praise You in This Storm
words by Mark Hall

I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wipes 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

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?

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 life my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
the Maker of heaven and earth
