Bible Reference… Job 1:21; Psalm 9:9; 42:11; 46:1; 121:1,2
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.
CODA:
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.
CHORUS:
And I’ll praise You in this storm! And I will lift my hands
that 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… You raised me up again.
My strength is almost gone; how can I carry on if I can’t find You? (CHORUS)
TAG:
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. (CHORUS)
