Praise You in This Storm

words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms


I was sure by now,God, 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 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 onto the hills

where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

I lift my eyes onto the hills

where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth


Chorus
"Lifesong"


Empty hands held high

Such small sacrifice

If not joined with my life

I sing in vain tonight

May the words I say

And the things I do

Make my lifesong sing

Bring a smile to You


Let my lifesong sing to You

Let my lifesong sing to You


I want to sign Your name

to the end of this day

Knowing that my heart was true

Let my lifesong sing to You


Lord I give my life

A living sacrifice

To reach a world in need

To be Your hands and feet

So may the words I say

And the things I do

Make my lifesong sing

Bring a smile to You


HallelujahHallelujah

Let my lifesong sing to You

Blogging Family!

So it seems I have finally gotten my girls into the blogger world.
We will see how they enjoy that.


Today is a very lazy day for me and I have needed one of those for a long time now already. I will be going 40 hours a week for a while now, things are getting so busy at work that I just can't do both my jobs well with the hours I had. If I know that I have so much work I can't relax at home anyway. So...we'll see how this goes.



Thanks to all of you who are praying for my kids and Noah. It means the world to us and I know that the prayers of all of you is what is holding them up.



A special prayer request would be that they find a Dr. in Winkler/Morden that will be comfortable with assisting with the delivering of Noah. I don't know that anyone here has ever has a patient with MG. Jo does not want to have him in Winnipeg if at all possible.

6 months

Today Jo is 6 months pregnant with Noah. I want to update you all on what the ultrasound results were last Friday.

It turns out that Noah has Meckel-Gruber Syndrome, not Anencephaly.

This was not very good news for Hank and Jolene. Noah's life expectancy remains the same but Hank and Jo's chance to have another baby with MGS is 1 in 4.

Please continue to pray for them that the Lord will bring about comfort and peace.

Jo is now on maternity leave, she is an esthetitian and was doing mainly pedicures and it was becoming to much to be bent over all the time.

Still hoping to post some US pics. Our little guy has 6 toes on each foot!
