 " Praise You In This Storm " received positive reviews from music critics following the release of Lifesong . Russ Breimeier of Christianity Today said " it 's vertical in focus and a typical @-@ sounding power ballad , but it 's not hard to imagine people latching on to its powerful Job @-@ like expression of faith and hope . " . John DiBiase of Jesus Freak Hideout praised it as " sonic " and called it a " passionate and emotional worship experience " . Brian Mansfield of USA Today felt that the song 's lyric " I was sure by now 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 " would resonate with listeners .
