If there ever were a test of our faith – if there ever were a test of the motives of our worship – it is when a storm rolls into our lives. We watched and prayed for a precious little girl named Erin Edwards struggle with a deadly disease for several years. The courage, the witnesss, and the worship of Erin’s mother, Laurie, inspired this song. Sometimes God calms our storms. Sometimes He chooses to ride them with us. ( The words was taken from the original cd)

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 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 tears 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

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

Romans 8:28 / 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 / Psalm 42:5 / Psalm 121:1-2 / job 1:20-21 / Daniel 3:16-18
