Blessings by Laura Story

We pray for blessings; we pray for peace

Comfort for family; protection while we sleep

We pray for healing; for prosperity

We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering

And all the while, You hear each spoken need,

Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things.

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops,

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near

What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom; Your voice to hear

And we cry in anger when we can not feel You near

We doubt Your goodness; we doubt Your love

As if every promise from Your word is not enough

And all the while, You hear each desperate plea

And long that we'd have faith to believe

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near

And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us; when darkness seems to win

We know the pain reminds this heart that this is not, this is not our home

It's not our home

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

And what if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near

What if my greatest disappointments

Or the aching of this life

Is the revealing of a greater thirst

This world can't satisfy.

And what if trials of this life

The rain, the storms, the hardest nights

Are Your mercies in disguise
