The Song I Spoke Of In My Lesson

So, I promised that I would post this song to my blog so that those of you who were present today in Relief Society could hear it and not just hear the words. I have a couple of links that I will post below. The first one has the writer explaining why he wrote the song. It's a touching story. The other one is just something that someone put together after the New Orleans Hurricane and put the pictures/video to the song. It's touching as well. I will also put the lyrics here, so that you can contemplate the symbalism within them.

This song helped me more than I could ever express and I am so grateful that I found it. It brings me so much peace and strength. I hope, if you are dealing with a trail that seems overwhelming to you, that this simple song will ease that pain and help you endure through it.

The song is from a modern Christian group named Casting Crowns. Their music is amazing and I enjoy their upbeat music with the sentimental lyrics. I may choose to post a few other songs of theirs to see what you think.


"Praise You in This Storm"
words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms

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 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'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 hands
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 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

Chorus



Let me know what you think! I hope it helps someone out there, the way it helped me!!
