We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep,
We pray for health, for prosperity,
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while You hear each spoken need,
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things.
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 every promise from Your Word is not enough,
All the while You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have the 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 are near
And what if the 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
This is not our home
It's not our Home!
"Cause what if your blessing comes through raindrops
What if your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You are near?
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world cannot satisfy
And what if the trials of this life,
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are you mercies in disguise?
