Words are so meaningful....

I just love the new song "Blessings" by Laura Story.   The words are so meaningful and so true.  I do pray for blessings, peace, comfort, protection, healing, prosperity ... for my life to be "easy" with no trials.  But what if through our trials we see HIS mercies,  that HE is made known.  As my faith has grown stronger in the last few years, I've often said I'm afraid to get too close to GOD because then I'm afraid HE'll throw a trial at me to see how I (through HIS strength) handle it.  Anyhow, I just wanted to share the words to this meaningful song and hope it blesses you too! =)   And I'm new at this blogging thing but here's the youtube video .... http://youtu.be/1CSVqHcdhXQ  ... hope it works =)

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 thru 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
And we doubt Your goodness, We doubt Your love
As if each 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 thru 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?

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 thru 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?

What if my greatest disappointments
Or 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?
