Theme Song

Music has always played a very big part in mine and my husband's lives. Besides Stryper and Petra ( I know, I'm dating myself) Third Day was my all time favorite until recently. Casting Crowns has reached Third Day's level with me. This song was sung in our church service when the Katrina victims came to town and has resurfaced on the radio lately and really speaks to me at this stage in my life.

Praise You In This Storm - 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 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

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'll 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 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

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
