Blessings

Do you ever have 'current favourite songs'? I do. Basically I find a song that I really like, then listen to it over and over again, and then go 'round singing it at the top of my voice. Then, of course I hear another nice song, and it becomes my favourite, and so on. Anyway, my current favourite song at the moment is called 'Blessings.' I really like the words...

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 rain drops
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


'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
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
It's not our home


'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
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

 Isn't it good? You can listen to it here. :)

  1. Yes I always have a NEW favorite song! Right now it's "How Deep the Father's Love for us." And when I like a song I listen to it over and over and over...and sing it over and over and over...you get the point! My sisters are always telling me to listen to something else. Blessing is a very pretty song!
    Have a blessed day!

  2. I love the words to this song... so meaningful...
    Well I can't say I 'love' songs like you do ;) but I do have I song that has made me think a lot, and almost moves me to tears every time I hear it! It is called "A Temple in Time" (from Fountain View; you probably know it!).
    Miss you! Blessings ~ Shanna.

    1. Oh yeah, I've heard one: Á Temple Made of Time'. Is that the same one? It is good. :) Have you got Fountainview's new DVD? It's on there, I'm pretty sure...
      Thanks for commenting, and I miss you too. :)

When you comment:

1. My day will be brighter, my face smiling, and my heart blessed.

2. I’m likely to immediately go and explore your blog (if you have one) to find out more of your amazingness, and return the blessing.

3. I will then attempt to craft a response to you that will somehow fail to convey how much I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and kindness. I’m grateful for every word of encouragement you give, and don’t be afraid to share some constructive criticism also; there’s always more to learn. In short: thank-you! :)
