Just feeling inspired to share some song lyrics :) They are by a band called Casting Crowns - sorry if you are someone who always hears me talk about them/hears them blasting from my room, but I just love them! This particular song that I am posting is just so powerful and I hope that it encourages all those who may stumble across this blog. So often we think we can only praise God if ''we feel like it'' - but thats just not true! And this song is a brilliant reminder of that! Whatever you are going through, God doesn't change, He's always looking after you and deserves our praise! Enjoy and God bless! :D xx

"Praise You In This Storm"

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 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

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

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
