I can't get this song out of my head. Beyond the lovely piano and her great singing, the lyrics really burrow into my heart and mind. I think she captures the sadness of our mistaken prayers without coming across as chiding or harping. It has such a tender longing for us to know God better, enough to appreciate what He is already doing for us and how much more He would do if we could just align our hearts and minds more closely with the best that He wants for us. Amazing.
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 us 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.
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,
and long that we'd have faith to believe.
'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 know that pain reminds this heart
that this is not, this is not our home.
It's not our home.
'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 my greatest disappointments, or the aching of this life,
is the 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?
