Blessings - Laura Story (with lyrics)

[00:16.62] We pray for blessings, we pray for peace

[00:24.35] Comfort for family, protection while we sleep

[00:32.35] We pray for healing, for prosperity

[00:40.87] We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering

[00:48.60] And all the while, You hear each spoken need

[00:58.36] Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

[01:04.36] 'Cause what if Your blessings come through rain drops

[01:09.60] What if Your healing comes through tears

[01:12.87] What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near

[01:21.84] What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

[01:39.62] We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear

[01:46.86] We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near

[01:55.36] We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love

[02:03.60] As if every promise from Your word is not enough

[02:11.10] And all the while, You hear each desperate plea

[02:20.10] And long that we'd have faith to believe

[02:28.60] 'Cause what if Your blessings come through rain drops

[02:32.09] What if Your healing comes through tears

[02:35.87] What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near

[02:45.60] What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

[02:58.60] When friends betray us

[03:02.60] When darkness seems to win

[03:05.61] We know that pain reminds this heart

[03:09.85] That this is not

[03:12.10] This is not our home

[03:21.35] It's not our home

[03:33.85] 'Cause what if Your blessings come through rain drops

[03:41.35] What if Your healing comes through tears

[03:43.10] What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near

[03:51.87] What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life

[03:59.13] Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy

[04:09.35] What if trials of this life

[04:13.86] The rain, the storms, the hardest nights

[04:18.36] Are Your mercies in disguise
