I praise the Lord for being with me no matter what. I have been repeating this verse over and over this past week, Romans 8:31 "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?". I praise God for never leaving me! My favorite part of this song is "For You are who You are, No matter where I am". Thank you Lord for loving me even though I am so unworthy and undeserving of your love. All through out this storm Lord, I have felt your loving arms around me. You are mighty, and I praise you for what I am learning through all this. May your Glory be seen in all this!
"Praise You In This Storm" by 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'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
I will be sharing a few songs with all of you that have been reflecting my life right now. I am trying to chose my words wisely, to not hurt anyone or cause any sort of conflict and in spending time in my bible, prayer and listening to some amazing Christian music, I have found words to my feelings that have even been hard for me to explain. I have always been in awe of people who have the talent of taking words and putting them to music. Music has been such a big part of my walk with Christ, it's in my times of singing praises to Him that I feel the closest to my Savior and constantly listening to Christian music has kept my focus on Him daily. So since i can't sing or play an interment, to express myself musically, I have borrowed the music and lyrics of others. I hope you take the time to listen to the songs and read the words, it's really struck a cord in my heart and what I am going through right now.
Stain Glass Masquerade By Casting Crowns
Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin’ so small
Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they’ll soon discover
That I don’t belong
So I tuck it all away, like everything’s okay
If I make them all believe it, maybe I’ll believe it too
So with a painted grin, I play the part again
So everyone will see me the way that I see them
*Chorus*
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation’s open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade
Is there anyone who’s been there
Are there any hands to raise
Am I the only one who’s traded
In the altar for a stage
The performance is CONVINCING
And we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart
But would it set me free
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be
Would your arms be open
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay
Chorus x2
Well if the invitation’s open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade
Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin’ so small
