Blessings

Songwriters: Laura Mixon Story

We pray for blessings, we pray for peaceComfort for family, protection while we sleepWe pray for healing, for prosperityWe pray for Your mighty hand to ease our sufferingAll the while You hear each spoken needYet love is way too much to give us lesser things
'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindropsWhat if Your healing comes through tears?What if a thousand sleepless nightsAre what it takes to know You're near?What if trials of this lifeAre Your mercies in disguise?
We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hearWe cry in anger when we cannot feel You nearWe doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your loveAs if every promise from Your Word is not enoughAnd all the while You hear each desperate pleaAnd long that we'd have faith to believe
'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindropsWhat if Your healing comes through tears?And what if a thousand sleepless nightsAre what it takes to know You're near?And what if trials of this lifeAre Your mercies in disguise?
When friends betray us, when darkness seems to winWe know that pain reminds this heartThat this is not, this is not our homeIt's not our home
'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindropsWhat if Your healing comes through tears?And what if a thousand sleepless nightsAre what it takes to know You're near?
What if my greatest disappointmentsOr the aching of this lifeIs the revealing of a greater thirstThis world can't satisfy?
And what if trials of this lifeThe rain, the storms, the hardest nightsAre Your mercies in disguise?
