Praise You

I just had to share this. Most of you who read my blog know what our family has been going through recently. I know many many other people have trials and tribulations in their lives. I know it can be very hard at times. I also know that God is the only One who can help all of us get through. Of course, we can help each other along the way, but there is nothing like the love of the Lord helping us and getting us through good times and in bad times. Recently, every time I have sung in the church choir on Sunday mornings, I cry or really tear up. This Sunday was definitely another time like that. We actually sang 2 songs that were entitled, "Praise You". Here are lyrics to one of them and ya'l are probably familiar with this one.

Praise You

Lord I come to you today with a simple prayer to pray.
In everything I do, let my life Oh Lord PRAISE YOU
Praise You, Praise You, Let my life praise you
Praise you praise you, let my life, ohh Lord praise you
Lord you formed me out of clay and for your glory I was made
Use this vessel as you choose, let my life oh Lord praise you!

A smaller ensemble from our choir sang a song by Casting Crowns, "Praise You in the Storm"
It talks about how even if you are going through hard times, you will still praise Jesus. Here are the lyrics to that song. I wish I could you tube this. Russell is not right by the computer to help me put it on this post! BUT, please read these lyrics, ya'll. I believe they are awesome and even if you have heard this song tons of times, God can still tell you something from it!

Praise You in This Storm

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 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

Chorus

I lift my eyes unto the hills where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes unto the hills where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth.

Chorus

Yes, this song is awesome! I will try to post this on the blog this week!!! Hope ya'll have a wonderful week!
