On 7 and 8 December 2006, Evangel Family Church presents Casting Crowns, a recent Grammy Award winning group. Casting Crowns, known for their songs with a meaning and strong impact.
The song I would like to introduce today from Casting Crowns is Praise You in The Storm from their latest album, Lifesong. This song in its simplest is to praise God in spite of the dark hours we face.
Praise You in The Storm
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 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
My prayer, is for people who have yet to know God, be acquainted with him,
and more so in their own way.
