I'll praise you in this 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.

I've always been a music person, but I feel as though there are two types of people when it comes to music, theres the music and theirs the lyric. I mean I have friends who are the music people, people who could care less about what the songs about as long as it has a good beat to dance to. I've always considered myself a lyric person, a person who sits and listens to the song until they find a story to it, a person whose favorite song will tell more about them then they ever will. When I heard this song "Praise you in the storm" the first time, I thought well that's an awesome song and didn't think much more than that but when I heard it Saturday I was already in a pretty crappy mood because of contest, because of what I'd been dealing with that week with Shauna, I just cried..

I had been completely oblivious that whole week about who I should be focusing on when going through trials and tribulations. Every small and big burden in my life I should go to the one who gives and takes away. We're all going to go through the pains of this world, but we have the BEST person to talk to.

So this song, what does it mean to me? Well, I suppose you can say whenever I hear it I sing out, I praise the one who saved me from myself. I was a MESS when I started going to church, I was an utter MESS. I felt so much pain, and so much failure. I hated myself for taking up the air of this world because I felt I didn't deserve it. But my chains are gone, and though I go through pain now, I don't deal with it by myself, because I have a BEST FRIEND to turn to. So though I'm going through a rough patch, I'm going to fight for you God, Ill fight until the day I die.

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
