Living Example

If you have been following my blog you know that over the past few months I have been wrestling with how to serve and praise God regardless of the circumstances. One of my college acquintances is battling cancer. Read her blog to see how she still loves Jesus and doesn't question His sovereignty, even though she is a young mother, with three young children, has a husband who is a doctor, and at one point I know they wanted to serve on the mission field. Her life song through these troubled times has been "Bring the Rain" by Mercy Me. Here are the words....

I can count a million times

People asking me how I

Can praise You with all that I've gone through

The question just amazes me

Can circumstances possibly

Change who I forever am in You

Maybe since my life was changed

Long before these rainy days

It's never really ever crossed my mind

To turn my back on you, oh Lord

My only shelter from the storm

But instead I draw closer through these times

So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace

Bring the chance to be freeB

ring me anything that brings You glory

And I know there'll be days

When this life brings me pain

But if that's what it takes to praise You

Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of

The dark clouds that may loom above

Because You are much greater than my pain

You who made a way for me

By suffering Your destiny

So tell me what's a little rain

So I pray

Holy, holy, holy

Is the Lord God Almighty
