This Is New York - Scar Lip

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 am 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 hand 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 I remember when I stumbled in the wind You heard my cry to you raised me up again But 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 give 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 And 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 hand 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 And I will praise you in this storm And I will praise you in this storm
