Blessings

By Laura Story

Lyrics

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 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

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 faith to believe 


When friends betray us

When darkness seems to win

We know that pain reminds this heart

That this is not our home 


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
