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 hand and praise the God who gives
and takes away.

i'll praise You in this storm
and i'll lift my hands
You are who You are
no matter where i am
every tear i've cried
You hold in Your hand
You've never left my side
and though my heart is torn
i'll praise You in the storm.

i guess i'm in that position where all i can do is hope, and possibly pray. for whatever comes comes. no matter how big the hole in the heart is, because time waits for no one.
