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 thingsCause 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 believeCause 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
That pain reminds this hearts,
That this is not, this is not our home…..
It’s not our homeCause 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.
What if trials of this life,
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise?
I think this song is a very touching poem.. A very simple yet truthful poem that i know if i analyse it i would tear..
Blessings through raindrops…Raindrops drops from above. & God is above all… Rain is always associated with sadness..Yet the benefits of rain are so many…We need rain, water to survive..a blessing from God. Big raindrops could hurt a lot more than small raindrops due to gravity…But indeed, the bigger the our trails, the stronger we get. The more things we learn. The better person we become. The bigger the blessings… So what is your blessings come through raindrops?
It could hurt upon impact, but once it splatters on us, the blessings are revealed. Would we still want blessings, if it means coming through raindrops?
I like the last stanza.
What if my greatest disappointments, Or the aching of this life, Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy? It gave me a revelation. Our disappointments and hurt reflects our yearning for God. Our hearts are innately programmed to seek for God. Our hearts needed God’s perfection, his love his grace his mercy his power to survive. So our minds, being a processor, try to find God in the most obvious way–through people. We don’t get utterly disappointed at kittens do we? People created out of God’s image. So when we try to attach ourselves to “God” to obtain similar love, grace, mercy, perfection…we couldn’t find exactly what we wanted –the things only God could satisfy.
