I heard this song for the 1st time on my way to work Monday morning and couldn’t get it out of my head all week. I had a friend that found the name for me because after much trying I couldn't find it. I was able to goggle lyrics, song and even found the testimony of the artist. I posted the song to my facebook so you can hear her sing it.
The part of what if your healing comes through tears just really jumped out at me and I’m sure it’s because I’m praying for J's healing of his spine, bladder. I’ve cried many tears and many sleepless nights pouring my heart and soul out to God to restore J's legs to walking and his bladder to work. I was looking back over J’s blog yesterday and started to see how through the time since we’ve been home my prayer hasn’t changed but I’m starting to accept this is God's plan, there is a purpose so therefore I’ve got peace and contentment only found in him. I don't know why this happened, perhaps God is using this to show someone there is joy, hope and assurance only found in him? maybe someone I know struggles with their faith? maybe someone isn't sure if they have ever truly accepted Jesus Christ? maybe someone is struggling with is there really a GOD? I know Jeremy is going to walk again, I pray and have faith and believe in that. I pray for God to heal Jeremy’s spine because I know that he is doing that right now as I speak, pray and cry out that he hears every word spoken to him.
I, then read Laura Story’s testimony of where her inspiration came to write this song. In 2006 she almost lost her husband to a brain tumor, “Blessings was written as a reminder that GOD remains faithful even when things don’t turn out the way we expect them to. Her husband’s struggles have provided the basis for the song off her new album which involves a complete surrender to God’s plan as well as redefining exactly what “blessings” really are. I also know that personally many who ready J's blog is going through a difficult time. I know family members, friends or families I've met that their world has been rocked recently by some news that you weren't expecting and perhaps like me you've said, "this wasn't suppose to happen to me"
BLESSINGS Lyrics
Laura Story
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 is way too much to give us lesser things
Cuz 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
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
Lord, that we’d have faith to believe
Cuz 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?
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
Cuz 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?
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching 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
