Casting Crowns

Oh my word, we went to see them in concert last night and it was an awesome time of praise and worship!!! That is one thing about Christian concerts that I enjoy: they take all focus off them and put it all onto the Lord. They always have the words up behind them, too, and I think that's another way they take the attention off themselves. Many of you know that this is my favorite group. I love all their songs, particularly Praise You In This Storm, because it holds special meaning to me. I'm posting the lyrics at the bottom of this, for those that have never heard it or didn't know the words. I actually used to carry the lyrics around with me in my purse, and when discouragement would set in, I would read them (sing them, actually) and choose to praise Him.

These tickets were my early Mother's Day present from my wonderful, excellent, and adoring husband. We also took some good friends with us who were at the last concert we went to (Third Day and Jars of Clay), so it was great to get to go with them! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!! Enjoy the lyrics....love to all!!!!

Casting Crowns - 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:
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 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

Chorus:

(2x�s)
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:
