Blessings

Laura Story's song 'Blessings' explores the paradox of suffering and God's goodness. It questions common assumptions about what blessings look like, suggesting that God's mercies often come through trials, tears, and hardships rather than comfort and ease. The lyrics acknowledge the struggle of doubt and anger when God feels distant, yet affirm that pain can draw us closer to Him and remind us that this world is not our home. The song encourages faith that God's love is too great to give us lesser things, and that our deepest disappointments may reveal a thirst only He can satisfy.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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
