Praise You In This Storm was inspired by the story of a girl named Erin Browning, a fan of the band who they arranged to meet before one of their concerts. She was diagnosed with cancer around the same time, and passed away a few months later on November 1, 2004.
The song peaked at number one on various different charts, including the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart, and was awarded the Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year in 2007.
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
But 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
I remember when I stumbled in the wind You heard my cry and You raised me up again My strength is almost gone How can I carry on If I can't find You
But 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
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 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
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 And though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm
