BLESSINGS

Samenvatting Blessings

Wij bidden en vragen God om zegeningen; om wijsheid, om vrede, om troost voor ons gezin, om genezing en voorspoed, om verzachting van ons lijden.

God hoort de door ons uitgesproken noden. Wij lijken daar geen antwoord op te krijgen.

Maar, hoe zou het zijn als Gods zegeningen komen door regen en God ons verdriet heelt door tranen heen? Wat als 1000 slapeloze nachten nodig zijn om te leren hoe dichtbij God is? Wat als onze moeite en strijd Gods verborgen zegen zijn? Als vrienden ons verraden, als teleurstellingen ons overkomen, als verdriet ons verlamt, herinnert onze pijn eraan dat ons aardse leven niet ons thuis is.

God is ons thuis.  

BLESSINGS

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 our spoken need,
yet love is way too much to give us lesser things.

Refrein:
‘Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops?
What is your healing comes through tears?
What is a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near?
And 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.
And all the while You hear each desp’rate plea,
And long that we’d have faith to believe.

Refrein:
‘Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops?
What is your healing comes through tears?
And what is a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near?
And 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.

Refrein:
‘Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops?
What is your healing comes through tears?
And what is 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 a 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?
