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.
And 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...

'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?

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
This is not...
this is 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 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?
