Casting Crowns
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 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 think this song is so powerful. I just put it on repeat and never get tired of it. In the midst of everything, God is always there. "And as the thunder rolls, I barely hear your whisper through the rain..."I'm with you."
It is so hard to remember that sometimes. You get mixed up with the rest of the world. You get caught up in earthly matters, and it distracts you from the One who will always be there. The One that loves you and wants you no matter what, the One who created you and this world that you get so tangled up in. Sometimes we forget that He is in charge, not us, not our friends, not our family, not even our church or anybody else in the world. Instead it is Him, and only Him who knows each and every hair on our head and every thought inside that head. We worry about the future, and regret the past, not remembering that He is with us in the present. This song just reminds me that He is always there, and no matter what I am (or anybody else is) going through, he is right there beside me.
