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 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

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 you raised me up again My strength is almost gone How can I carry on If I can't find You

But 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

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 miss her so much!

You know that I am always here for you! I knew I shouldn't have listened to that song. I mean, I listen to it everyday on K-love but today it just got me. I know your mom is smiling down on you and I know she is proud of the woman, wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend you have become.

I love you, SIL!

Very sorry for your loss. My Mom passed a year ago. It is a tough road to travel.

Mel... I have recently learned how so terribly bad it hurts to lose someone so very close. I lost my best friend 3 months ago and there's not a day that goes by that I don't miss him worse than the day before. I love you and I wish peace, comfort and strength upon you everytime you think of your wonderful mom!! We all loved Ms.Suzy and I know you miss her so.
