I will praise you in this storm - Casting Crowns

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

Imagine me - Kirk Franklin

Imagine me
Loving what I see when the mirror looks at me cause I
I imagine me
In a place of no insecurities
And I'm finally happy cause
I imagine me

Letting go of all of the ones who hurt me
Cause they never did deserve me
Can you imagine me?
Saying no to thoughts that try to control me
Remembering all you told me
Lord, can you imagine me?
Over what my mama said
And healed from what my daddy did
And I wanna live and not read that page again

[Chorus:]
Imagine me, being free, trusting you totally finally I can...
Imagine me
I admit it was hard to see
You being in love with someone like me
But finally I can...
Imagine me

Being strong
And not letting people break me down
You won't get that joy this time around
Can you imagine me?
In a world (in a world) where nobody has to live afraid
Because of your love fears gone away
Can you imagine me?

[Bridge:]
Letting go of my past
And glad I have another chance
And my heart will dance
'Cause I don't have to read that page again

[Chorus x2]

[Vamp:]
Gone, gone, it's gone, all gone

Machtige Heer, grote Verlosser

Machtige Heer, grote Verlosser,

iedere dag kneden uw handen

mijn leven als klei.

Zo vormt U mij naar uw plan.



U roept mij zacht in uw nabijheid;

daar vind ik kracht,

Uw Geest omgeeft mij.

Leer mij, o Heer,

hoe ik steeds meer leef als U.



U riep mij om voor U te leven,

aan U alleen wil ik mij geven.

Trek mij, o Heer,

dichter naar U toe.



Refrein:

Neem mij, kneed mij,

vorm mij, vul mij:

ik leg mijn leven in uw sterke hand.

Roep mij, zend mij,

leid mij, wandel naast mij:

ik leg mijn leven in uw sterke hand.



U roept mij zacht...

U riep mij...

(Refrein 2x)

Vandaag zat dit liedje in mijn hoofd.

Ik moet zeggen, dit liedje is toch één van mijn lievelingsliedjes.

Vooral het refrein vind ik zeer machtig, maar ook de strofes vind ik zeer mooi.

Een liedje om te zingen met je hart.
