Lyrics
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 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

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 the pain reminds this heart that this is not, this is not our home
It's 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?
