A song appropriate to the storm outside (and those inside)

As today's spring snowstorm continues outside, and minor inconveniences continue to bug me inside, I can't help but think about the "storms" in life. Although both of the things mentioned here are minor in the overall scheme of things, they still bring to mind Casting Crowns' song "Praise You in This Storm:"

 
 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 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

Because I'm excited to get to see them for the second time this summer at Coors Field following a Rockies game, I chose to include the live version of the song below. Enjoy! (And if you ever get a chance to see them in concert, DO IT!)
