Intro: C#m - B - F# - E - F# - D#m
            C#m - B - F# - E 

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

Chorus
                    B
(Cause) what if Your blessings come through raindrops
              F#
What if Your healing comes through tears
            G#m                 F#
What if the thousand sleepless nights
              E
are what it takes to know You're near
C#m     B              E    
What if trials of this life
                      (C#m - B - F# - E - F# - D#m)
are Your mercies in disguise


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

Bridge
E             F#
When friends betray us
G#m            A

When darkness seems to win we know
E           F#              G#m           F#
the pain reminds this heart That this is not
                 C#m - B - F# - E - F# - D#m
this is not our home
               B - F# - G#m - E - E- F#
it's not our home                                   

Chorus 2
                     B
(Cause) what if your blessings come through raindrops
              F#
What if Your healing comes through tears
            G#m                 F#      
What if the thousand sleepless nights
              E
are what it takes to know You're near
             B
What if my greatest disappointments
       F#
Or the aching of this life
          G#m           F#
Is the revealing of a greater thirst
       E
this world can't satisfy
C#m     B              E
What if trials of this life,
                F#                  E
the rain, the storms, the hardest nights
 (E)
Are your mercies in disguise

Outro: C#m - B - F# - E - F# - D#m 
       C#m - B - F# - E - F# - B
