My H gave me a CD the other day and there was one song in particular that just made me weep. Things may be incredibly rough right now (I know they are for me), but God is always there.
Praise You in This Storm
Casting Crowns
I was sure by now
That you would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in 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
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 thought 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
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 thought my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
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

The whole CD is really inspirational. It's "Lifesong" by Casting Crowns. I would highly recommend it.

I love Casting Crowns! They rate up there with Mercy Me for me. Cinnymd, there is a song by Mercy Me as a FWW you would love called Undone. I'll look up the lyrics for you. It really hit me hard.

Undone by Mercy Me Awesome, powerful song about shedding your sins. No apologies
For who I'm meant to be
The only thing that matters is
I am free
When I am overwhelmed
Holding pieces of my heart
When I feel my world
Start to fall apart
To the cross I run
Holding high my chains undone
Now I am finally free
Free to be what I've become
Undone
Even in defeat
The face of tragedy
Still you'd have to say that
I found victory
In brokenness comes beauty
Divine fragility
Reminding me of nail scarred hands
Reaching out for me
To the cross I run
Holding high my chains undone
Now I am finally free
Free to be what I've become
To the cross I run
Holding high my chains undone
Now I am finally free
Free to be what I've become
Undone
Hallelujah I'm undone!
To the cross I run
Holding high my chains undone
Now I am finally free
Free to be what I've become
To the cross I run
Holding high my chains undone
Now I am finally free
Free to be what I've become
Undone
To the cross I run
To be what I've become
And I'm undone

Thanks,

how many of you listen to K-Love? i have listend to that station about 95% of the time since i found it over a year ago. music is very big in my life, always has been. but at this point, i don't do well with anything but christian music. it seems scary to me to listen to any other station. once and a while i'll listen to an older CD of mine that i have hanging around. but then i quickly go back to k-love.
i sometimes wonder why that is and if it is a good sign/bad sign or just totally irrelavant.
i do know, k-love makes my H uncomfortable, too much for him. so i only listen to it when i'm on my own

Faithful,
Thanks for finding the lyrics to that song for me. I absolutely love Mercy Me. "I Can Only Imagine" really helped me deal with my grandmother's death a few years ago.
It is so amazing how God can speak through songs. Thanks for sharing.
God bless.
