A sleepless night. Another dawn.
Thinking of the past.
Looking at the present.
Praying for the future.
Looking at my phone,
Wondering what happened
Wishing the scars away
So that I can be the typical guy.
And then this chorus sings right into my heart:
"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
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?" (** Blessings by Laura Story)
In my heart break and disappointment,
The aching and silent tear drops,
Lift my eyes that I may see,
You being with me.
In my fear and confusion,
And all my ignorance and mistakes
Be my strength and cover me
With Your love and grace.
In all my pleas You've heard me,
So lift my eyes over the horizon,
To see the blessings coming over,
For me, for comfort, for love, for life.
And this chorus sings right into my heart:
"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
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?"
And so I prayed and wondered,
What if all these pain and heartbreak were necessary
To make me into the person that He wants me to be,
For some purpose that I still cannot see,
For that someone who will share my life?
