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
