Mercies In Disguise

I have heard this song many many times and it has such a powerful message that I just had to post it for you to read! I resonate with the message of this song. I do believe that God is indeed good and not just good sometimes, but all the time! I also believe that my definition of what is a "blessing" or what "mercies" are may not in fact be God's definition.

In my selfishness I want things in life to always go "my way" with me getting the "most I can get" and everything turning out just like "I want it to," ... when in fact many of the blessings in my life have come to me through pain and things NOT going my way. Ha ha! At the end of the day, no matter what, we must trust God in and through everything! It's not easy, but necessary!

 



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

'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

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

'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

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not,
This is not our home
It's not our home

'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 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
