will and i were fortunate enough that he heard about discounted casting crowns tickets while rockin’ out to the radio last week, and was able to get us an awesome deal on some tickets to the concert at the RBC center.\u00a0 i checked on-line for the tickets a few months back and saw they were about $70 each.\u00a0 knowing that we did not have that kind of cashola to splurge on some concert tickets around the holidays i figured we would just have to catch the show next time they were in town.\u00a0 then, when husband found the great deal, he surprised me with the ticket purchase!<\/p>\n

casting crowns is husband’s all time favorite!\u00a0 he turned me on to them about a year ago when he started heavily listening to christian radio on his car rides to and from work.\u00a0 so many of their songs really have powerfull messages that hit you right in your spirit, right where you need it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

the concert was everything we hoped it would be and really made the words of our favorite songs hit even closer to home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

we wanted to share our favorite:<\/p>\n

Praise You in This Storm
\nWords by Mark Hall\/Music by Mark Hall\u00a0& Bernie Herms<\/p>\n

I was sure by now, God, that You would have reached down
\nand wiped our tears away,
\nstepped in and saved the day.
\nBut once again, I say amen
\nand it’s still raining
\nas the thunder rolls
\nI barely hear You whisper through the rain,
\n“I’m with you”
\nand as Your mercy falls
\nI raise my hands and praise
\nthe God who gives and takes away.<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nAnd I’ll praise you in this storm
\nand I will lift my hands
\nfor You are who You are
\nno matter where I am
\nand every tear I’ve cried
\nYou hold in your hand
\nYou never left my side
\nand though my heart is torn
\nI will praise You in this storm<\/p>\n

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
\nYou heard my cry to You
\nand raised me up again
\nmy strength is almost gone how can I carry on
\nif I can’t find You
\nand as the thunder rolls
\nI barely hear You whisper through the rain
\n“I’m with you”
\nand as Your mercy falls
\nI raise my hands and praise
\nthe God who gives and takes away<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

I lift my eyes onto the hills
\nwhere does my help come from?
\nMy help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
\nI lift my eyes onto the hills
\nwhere does my help come from?
\nMy help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth<\/p>\n

Chorus
\n<\/em><\/p>\n
