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

Pre-Chorus:
And 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 rain drops
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

Pre-Chorus 2:
And 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, this is not our home
It’s not our home

Chorus 2:
Cause what if Your blessings come through rain drops
What if you 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 a 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
