The Last Blue for David Monday!

I Will Praise You In This Storm

I have added a song to David's blog. His life journey, through its many twists and turns, continues to be fragile. Anticipation of Monday and the tests David will be going through marks another "stormy" time. My heart is heavy as it goes through the many ups and downs -- as I know yours does as well -- it was this song that could articulate better than I, the unchanging and unfailing faith that Justin and Jennifer demonstrate. But, it is also a recognition of the undeniable fact that this is the most difficult and painful trial imaginable that they are enduring.

Please take a moment to read the lyrics and listen to the song playing. Friends, it is still raining. But, let us all lift our hands ---- for He is who He is --- and we will praise Him in this storm.


I Will Praise You In This Storm by Casting Crowns

I was sure by now
That 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

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
