praise you in the storms

Praise you in the storm

"I was sure by now,God, 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:
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for 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 to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and 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 onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth"


This song reflects how i feel now, broken torn, heart is battered, tears welling in my eyes and i feel like i m going to fall anytime (or i ve already fallen).... But God is still God and thru these i can still see a faint light afar tt helps me to walk on Everytime i fall, i stand up again because it is He who picks me up and sustains me. It is He who gives me strength and hold my hand, it is He who comforts me and faithfully carry me.

Going thru a tough period and mainly r/s with ppl (family and friends), dealing with hurts and disappointments and lack of support. Sometimes my heart is so battered i feel like running away from everything and just give up, sometimes i feel like hurting ppl back again. How can i carry on? Only by His grace and His strength... Slowly dealing and handling my emotions, looking up to God and holding onto His word instead of basing on my emotions (though sometimes its just so tempting)....

i need to grow in inner strength more n more n more! I need to climb and walk thru this mountain (perserving) instead of attempting to taking another route that wasnt meant for me or attempting to blast this mountain again. This was a prophecy that spoke to me and during this period i am reminded of this mountain in my life. I will walk on and climb this mountain which you have called me to walked. There must be a reason and i will walk on with YOU.
