Enjoy this amazing song!




So I heard this song on the radio for the first time yesterday and I LOVED it! I just felt like I needed to share it with everyone bc it really gets your mind in the right perspective. I guess it is our human nature to want things to be easy and comfortable.....and I find myself complaining and grumbling when they arent. But it has been the most difficult, most lonely, uncomfortable experiences in my life that have drawn me the closest to the Lord and have taught me the most about Him.
This earth is not our home.....the things it offers cannot satisfy us. Just a good reminder for me.

Here are the lyrics: I added the bold to some of my favorite parts.

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

‘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 every promise from Your Word is not enough
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,
It's 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
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise
