Blessings

God gave me a most beautiful gift this morning which I feel led to share with you.  It is a song by Laura Story titled Blessings.  I have included the lyrics.  I pray that it fills your heart as it has filled mine.

  

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.

All the while, You hear each spoken need

Yet love us way to 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. 

We cry in anger when we cannot 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?

What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

When friends betray us,

When darkness seems to win

We know that 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?

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?

What if trials of this life ...

the rain, the storms, the hardest nights ...

are Your mercies in disguise?
