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
