Blessed by God in Casting Crowns concert

I went to the concert wanting to worship God only. Don't really like Casting Crowns initially, thinking that they sing rock songs, too rock for me. But God used them to bless me a lot. The lead, Mark, mentioned how the song came about for almost every songs they sang, & I'm really ministered by God... Really breaking me into humility.

There's still another run tonight at Evangel Family Church in Yishun Ring Road. If you read this in time, do go & go early... Full house very early.. :p

Here is one of the songs that touched me greatly, & I want to praise God all the more in the storm... Be blessed.

Praise You in This Storm
words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms

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 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

Chorus:
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 raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and 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

Chorus

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 lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

Chorus
