What if...

I listened to Women's conference, and General Conference, and have spent some time in group meetings for single women who are pregnant, among other things; and there's been a lot to think about in the messages that I've been exposed to lately. I can't really go into alot of detail about this...sometimes words aren't enough to express the feelings, the understanding, the realizations, the blessings. But I have been reminded, because I already knew it, that God is tender, and merciful, and aware...very aware of each of us. During the past few weeks I found this song by Laura Story and it says it for me. It's a good one. Enjoy!




We pray for blessings, we pray for peace Comfort for family, protection while we sleep

We pray for healing, for prosperiity

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

CHORUS: Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes thorough 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 for Your Word in 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 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 raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

And 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

And what if trials of this life

The rain, the storms, the hardest nights


Are Your mercies in disguise?
Good thoughts right
