Praise You In This Storm
Casting Crowns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
That it's still raining
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

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
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

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 lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The maker of heaven and earth
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

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





And though my heart is torn
I will praise you in this storm

Just got a shocking news 2 weeks ago, discovered through CT scan and other test, having a pancreas cancer metastasized to liver ... "though my heart is torn, I praise You in this storm."

God has been so good, I am so undeserved, but receiving joyfully His grace.

Had a surgery last week. Failed to do the planned wipple procedure to remove the cancer, already too sticky to the main blood vessel, and too many in the liver. But I still believe in His healing power and miracle.

On the recovery process and pleasw pray that God will show me the next step. Chemo or stem cell.

Please pray. Much appreciated. Have a woman of faith wife and 3 couragious children!

If God controls the land and disease,
Keeps a watchful eye on me,
If he's really so damn mighty,
My problem is I can't see,
Well who would want to be?
Who would want to be such a control freak?
Well who would want to be?
Who would want to be such a control freak?

Evil home stereo, what good songs do you know?
Evil me, oh yeah I know, what good curves can you throw? ... 🐕

When I lost both of my parents a few years ago.
This was the only song that kept me, from jumping into their graves.
I miss both of my parents every day.
My mom died from Uterine Cancer (October-2012)
My dad had a massive stroke (June-2014)
My parents both met in the 9th grade, and they got married after my dad came home from Vietnam War in 1968.
My oldest son dad died in Christmas 2007
My grandmom died May 2020
My family pet died June 2020
My oldest brother died August 27, 2020 (shot and killed in front his baby at 7-Eleven store)
In loving memory of my mother & father and my older brother.
I’m still grieving your lost, every time I breathe.

We've lost our youngest brother due to car accident last dec.9 2021.
This might have been the greatest storm our family encountered so far. Yes, it is a tragic accident, but we recognize that it won't be the reason for us to say that God isn't good. God is good all the time. And all the time, God is good.
For 24yrs, God had been good to him. It was a life that is full of joy, and love. God used him mightily in His ministry, to share His gospel, to reach people that are lost. His legacy is a great testimony of how good our God is.
We are crying listening to this song.
The lyrics just hits us hard.
We can smile knowing that my brother is already with our Creator, but we still cry knowing that he's not with us anymore.
But this isn't 'Good bye'...
It's a 'See you soon'...

We miss you and love you Muy...

I lost my 9 year old son. I was a single mom for all 9 years. I went into depression and tried committing suicide,but God saved me. From that day on wards I had a relationship with God. Funny how I only heard this today, tonight as I type this ..Am playing it. And it makes soo much sence.
My heart is soo torn but I still praise him and thank him every day. I thank you Jesus.
Today, I am proud to say I am in Bible school and a living Testimony.
