Be It a reminder .. as He speaks

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

In bad times... Do you actually praise God?

Certainly we don't say ' O Lord, thank you for giving me a hard time, Oh thank you for this to happen...for this bad time. so and so..

do you?

- It's never easy doing so..
to lift up my heavy heart and hand to You.
but how often..?
do I actually do so
After all, you are the maker of Heaven and earth
my Papa-in-heaven.
and my help comes from You.
