We pray for blessings,         we pray for peace
C  D        Em/G       C/E              Cadd9
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep

And all the while, You hear each spoken need
    Am/G            Em9/B           Dadd11
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

[Chorus]
                    G
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
             D
What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
Am/G    Bm7            Cadd9(#11)   Csus2(#11)             Dadd11(omit5)
What if trials of this life                       are Your mercies in disguise

[Verse 2]
C  D        Em/G     C       D        Em9/B
We pray for wisdom,     Your voice to hear
C  D       Em/G         F               Em7/G
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
Cadd9(#11)   Dadd11     Em9(omit 5)     Cadd9(#11)  Dadd11          Em9/B
We           doubt your goodness,       we          doubt      your love
Cadd9(#11)  Dadd11     Em/G              D5/A
As if       every      promise from Your word is not enough

    B/G     Cadd9      D                   Em
And all the while, You hear each desperate plea
    Am/G                Em9/B      Dadd11
And long that we'd have faith to believe

[Chorus]
                    G
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
             D
What if Your healing comes through tears
          Em/G               D                  C9                   C
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
Am/G    Bm7            Cadd9(#11)   Csus2(#11)         Dadd11(omit5)        C       G
What if trials of this life                   are Your mercies in disguise

[Bridge]
Am/G         Bm7
When friends betray us
Cadd9(#11)    Dadd11           Am/G
When darkness seems to win… We know
            Em9/B
that pain reminds this heart
     Cadd9(#11)
That this is not,
Dadd11
This is not our home

[Instrumental] 
Am - G - D/F#    C - D - Bm

             C   D   Em/G     F     C         (SLOW) D/A
It's not our home

[Chorus]
                    G
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
             D
What if Your healing comes through tears
          Em/G               D                  C9                   C
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
           G                               D
What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life
       Em/G           D                   C9               C
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy?
Am/G    Bm7             Cadd9(#11)   Csus2(#11)
What if trials of this life
              Dadd11(omit5)        C/E
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
         D/F#
Are your mercies in disguise?
