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
And long that
we'd had 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 ho.....me
It's 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
