Blessings by Laura Story

I found this beautiful song on the The Macs blog. The video I chose has a few pictures of Jesus in it towards the middle. Sorry about that. I looked for another one, but the other one played so softly.  Take a listen by clicking the link. I included the words so you can listen and read at the same time. I like to do that. The words are so beautiful.

Her husband had a brain tumor and that is where the song comes from. He did live. She also wrote Indescribable.

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

'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

All the while, You hear each desperate plea

As long as we have faith to believe

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

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
