What if Blessings Come Through Raindrops Lyrics

"And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." – Romans 5: 3-5

God is love. He tells us so repeatedly in the Bible. Yet sometimes it doesn't feel like He loves us. What if we pray for our loved ones to make it through, but they pass away before we even say goodbye? What if we pray for our children to grow up healthy but instead we watch them suffer a life-threatening illness? What if we pray for that little extra money to make ends meet, but we end up losing our home?  It's devastating when we don't see God's answers to our prayers. "We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near."

What if the very thing that is best for us isn't the same as what we're praying for? "All the while, You hear each spoken need. You love us way too much to give us lesser things." God is watching over always, directing every moment we experience. So if He isn't answering our prayers how we think He should, does that mean He isn't answering? Or could it be something else? Could it possibly be that He's really blessing us?

"What if your blessings come through raindrops?" It's hard to comprehend, but maybe God really is guiding us in our trials. Maybe they're working towards something bigger. Maybe God is blessing us through the hard parts in our lives. Of course, we always wonder, can't God find some better way to show us what He needs to? Can't He take away the pain and give us happiness? Isn't that what's best for us? But through it all, "the pain reminds this heart that this is not our home". We know our lives here on earth are only temporary and our real home is heaven. So, it's possible that the pain has a purpose. "What if the trials of this life are your mercies in disguise?" Sometimes, we need the suffering so God can shape us into who we need to be. Someday we'll see the purpose. Until then, remember God promises us His very best. "We doubt your goodness. We doubt your love. As if every promise from your word is not enough." Trust, for He knows what He's doing.

Lyrics:
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

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?

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 each 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
That pain reminds this hearts,
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?
