There’s no denying some of the blessings in Laura Story’s life.

[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe
[Bridge]
When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not our home
[Chorus 2]
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?
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise?
