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
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
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
My sister was diagnosed with a breast cancer just right after my father's almost two months of hospitalization. It was really a storm blow to us. However, God lifted us with His promise of love -- that He will never leave nor forsake us.
It is truly a trying times for us right now -- and this song reminds me that this is not our home and that our home is with the Lord and that the storms of life are God's mercies in disguise... and that in His arms our family will find rest and comfort... that in God's time we will be victorious and will pass this storm with HIS abundant blessings.
I love Sunset and everything I look at its beauty -- I see God's wonderful creation and a promise of a beautiful tomorrow.
