blessings

Psalm 34:17-18

17 - The righteous cry, 

and the LORD heareth, 

and delivereth them 

out of all their troubles.

18 - The LORD is nigh unto them 

that are of a broken heart; 

and saveth such 

as be of a contrite spirit.

lyrics by laura story

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 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

And all the while You hear each desperate plea

Lord, 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 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

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

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. . .
