Blessings

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 us 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 cannot feel you near

We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love

As if each 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 hearts,

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?
