Please Pray

I have never more sensed the fragility of life as I have after watching the devastation and destruction my state has experienced the past 24 hours.  I feel guilt as I sit in my home, my family and friends safe and sound in their homes, as many go without this very night.  My heart feels heavy and my mind can't fully grasp the enormity of this tragic event.  I'm praising God for sparing me the sorrow, but petitioning Him on behalf of the ones that are in very midst of it.  Join me in this, please.

"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
