Intro: Am - G - D/F# - C - D - Bm - Am - G - D/F3 - C 

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

Chorus:
              G
What if your blessings come through raindrops
              D/F#
What if Your healing comes through tears
             Em                 D/F#               C
What if the thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
Am      Am/B            C             D/F#                Am - G - D - C - D - C
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/F#
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/F#
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
    G        C         D/F#                Em
And all the while, You hear each desperate plea
     Am       Am/B       C          D/F#
And long that we'd have faith to believe


Bridge:
C              Am/B
When friends betray us
Am             Am/B            C
When darkness seems to win we know
            D                     C
The pain reminds this heart That this is not
D                Am  G  D  C  D  Bm
This is not our home
              C  D  Em  C  D
It's not our home

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