Blessings

This may be a little different then all of my other posts but lately I have really been wanting to post this! This song is by Laura Story and it is called "Blessings". This song has really helped me and I thought I'd share! :)


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 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
But 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're near
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know the pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home,
'Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And 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
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise

Psalm 56:3 "What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee." :)

This is actually the song that I've held close. I can't tell you how many time I heard it on the radio and never paid attention to it until I heard it on a particular day and these words caught my attention "What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near" It was an answer to my prayers, so amazed how lyrics can reach your prayers or thoughts.
