Capo 5th Fret

Am  G  D  C  D  Bm  Am  G  D  C 

C     D              Em
We pray for blessings
C     D      Bm
We pray for peace
C     D      Em           D                             C
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
C     D              Em
We pray for healing
C      D     Bm
For prosperity
C       D              Em                       D
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
G        C               D                              Em
All the while, You hear each spoken need
     Am                      G                             D
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things


                          G
What if your blessings come through raindrops
                          D
What if Your healing comes through tears
                      Em                               D                             C
What if the thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
Am            G                 C                                                   Am G D C D Bm
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise


C     D              Em
We pray for wisdom
C         D       Bm
Your voice to hear
C     D      Em                           D                         C
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
C   D                      Em
We doubt your goodness
C    D                  Bm
We doubt your love
C       D          Em                             D
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
G                      C               D                                  Em
And all the while, You hear each desperate plea
    Am                                     G            D
And long that we'd have faith to believe

[Chorus]

Bridge
C                          D
When friends betray us
Em                        D
When darkness seems to win we know
C                   D                 Am                 D
The pain reminds this heart That this is not
                            Am  G  D  C  D  Bm
This is not our home
                         G  D  Em  C  D
It's not our home                                   
                             G
What if your blessings come through raindrops
                             D
What if Your healing comes through tears
                         Em                            D                             C
What if the thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
                                             G       
What if my greatest disappointments
                 D
Or the aching of this life
               Em                   D                             C
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
Am          G                  C                                  D                             C
What if trials of this life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights
 C                                      C            Am  G  D  C  D  Bm  Am  G  D  C  D  G
Are your mercies in disguise

We Are One In The Spirit (They'll Know We Are Christians by our Love)

             Em
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord.

             Am                                 Em
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord.

              Am                               Em
And we pray that all unity may one day be restored.

 Chorus: 

                    C                                               Em              Am
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love,

                   Em                Am                      Em
Yes they'll know we are Christians by our love.

              Em
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand.

              Am                                          Em
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand.

         Am                                 Em
And together we'll spread the news that God is in our land.

 Chorus 

               Em
We will work with each other, we will work side by side.

              Am                                           Em
We will work with each other, we will work side by side.

                 Am                       Em
And we'll guard each man's dignity and save each man's pride.
