Blessings...

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
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
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
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That 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(s) 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

So I know Jennifer already has this song playing on her blog, and I must confess half the time when I'm reading blogs my speakers are on mute and when they're not I don't normally hear a song all the way through. They started playing this song on the radio and I was so blessed by it. This is a great song. It's amazing how I hear this song and it speaks of my journey with infertility. I know this song must speak to Jennifer with all she's been through with Benjamin. Everyone has that issue in their life. That issue that you can't just get over. That issue where you have to beg God for help because you feel like you can't take any more hurt, any more pain. Yet when God shows himself to you and makes himself real and known in that situation you can honestly thank him for that hard time you've been through and even be thankful for the experience. Isn't it so amazing to look back and see His blessings in disguise?
