Mercies in Disguise

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


All the while, You hear each spoken need


Yet love us 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 the 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






Chorus






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



Chorus



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
