My favorite from Casting Crowns is Praise You In This Storm. It don't matter how many times I hear it/sing it (yes, I DO sing, ty...lol) It always has meaning and strength to it. As one reviewer of the song once stated "The line 'And as your mercy falls, I raise my hands and praise the God who gives....and takes away' is enough to make a grown man break down to tears"...and I definitely agree. If you can't worship with this song, my opinion is you can't worship with anything. For anyone who hasn't heard it I've posted the lyrics below.

Verse 1
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 rainin'
Well, 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've never left my side
And though my heart is torn...
I'll praise You in this storm
Verse 2
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?
Well, 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 (repeat chorus)
Bridge
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....(chorus 1x then end)
