[Eb] [Ebm]
[Eb] [Ebm] As I was growing up in my worship and growing up in my prayer life, I [Ebm] started seeing things
that I realized were missing.
I started seeing that my worship [Eb] was kind of conditional.
Like when things were going good, my hands were in the air like this.
Things were going bad, I'm like, it's like this.
[Abm] I would just shift on a dime.
And [Gb] it began, I began to see that it was less about God being worthy of my [Bbm] worship.
And it was, God, [Ebm] are you worthy of my worship today?
Are you blessing me enough?
[B] And those are things that you would never say out loud, but that's [Gb] what my life was saying.
I could see that, I could see it in me.
[Bbm] [Ebm]
[Eb] [B] [F] And [Gb] I felt like in our church and around me in the [Bbm] Christian world, I felt like it was
just this overwhelming [Ebm] thought that [Eb] if you just love Jesus, all your [B] problems are going
to go away.
And if you [Abm] just say that out loud enough, speaking this is just [Gb] going to make it great.
It's going to be awesome.
And I just knew, [Db] because I live in the real world with real people, [Ebm] that's not the way it works.
I was sure by [B] now, God, you would have [Gb] reached out and wiped our [Db] tears away, stepped in [Ebm] and
saved the day.
But once [B] again, I say [Gb] amen.
We pray for healing, but healing [Db] doesn't always show up the way we want.
And [Abm] when you're a pastor and you're walking people through [B] their journey, you can't just
talk about happy things all the time.
You [Ebm] got to live life.
[Eb] You got to deal with all of it.
And [Db] I remember wondering, what [Abm] happens when God doesn't come through [Eb] the way you want Him to?
Because that's happened for me.
What does worship look [Gb] like in that moment?
And I'm sitting here reading [Db] the Word, finding things like, I can do [Ebm] all things through Christ
who strengthens me.
And be joyful always.
And it [B] didn't hit me for years that the guy that's saying this [Gb] is saying it from prison.
He's saying it from the darkest [Db] point in his life where he knows he's probably not going
to be [Ebm] around much longer, but he's encouraging you.
[B] What does that look like?
Because I know that wasn't [Gb] in my life at the time.
You never left [Db] my side, even though my heart [Abm] is torn.
[B] Oh, I will praise you in [Gb] the storm.
[Bbm] We met a family because of a little girl named [Ebm] Erin on the road.
And Erin had [B] cancer.
And we walked through cancer [Gb] with this family.
Emails and phone calls [Db] and visits here and there, and I got to see what [Ebm] worship looks
like in a storm.
When you're praying [B] for God to come through one way, and He comes [Gb] through a different way.
And seeing what that looks like, and [Db] that God is worthy of my worship [Bbm] no matter how
[Abm] my situation is today.
That's what [B] birthed the song, Praise You in the Storm.
[Eb] I remember telling Erin that I was writing a song for [Db] her.
And I remember her telling me she couldn't wait [Abm] to hear it.
And she went to be [B] with Jesus before the song was done.
And [Db] I think the way God has used that is that God has used the song, Praise You in the Storm,
for so [Ebm] many people.
Not to tell them if [B] you just love Jesus, everything's going to be great.
[Gb] But just to remind them that Jesus is great no matter what happens.
[Db] Jesus is with you no matter what happens.
[Ebm] Jesus is worthy of your worship no matter what [B] happens.
And that is a storm [Gb] that I've found myself in since then, going through [Db] my own cancer.
And understanding God, [Abm] you have the power to save me the way [B] I'm praying.
But if not, either way, my hands are going to be in the air [Gb] to you.
Erin taught me about worship, [Bbm] and she's got to teach a lot of people since then through
the song, [Abm] Praise You in the Storm.
[B]
[Bbm] [Eb] Praise You in the Storm.
Praise You in the Storm.
