Blessings
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
(Chorus)
'Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if the 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 have faith to believe
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
Why does this song impact me? I am living in the chorus. My life has turned out different than expected. When I was saying "I do", I didn't realize all that I was signing up for. But because of His great love for me, I realize the life I am living now, is His plan and portion for me. So every disappointment, every heartache, every trial, every dark day, every storm and hard night, are His mercies. He imparts His grace through all of these and I have to see His blessing in each one. As He hears each prayer, I am blessed that He gives me more than I can handle. Through it all I know ...His "love is way too much to give me lesser things".
