"What if blessings come through raindrops...?"

Things of the world are not so apparent.
Sometimes they are shrouded in such mystery
it is difficult not to cry.
When sorry is the best word we can utter
yet it is not good enough.
When storms come when we least expect
and God still say this is the best 
Who can comprehend his great and awesome love
even when things of the world are not so apparent
his mercies outlast every single trial.

Loved this beautiful song about God's wonderous mercy and love...



LAURA STORY - BLESSINGS - 

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

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we have faith to believe

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It's not our home

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the achings of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise

Hello, my name is ..

When I first heard this song, it sounded a little too young-ish for my liking, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But I heard it over and over at the christian radio, pressumingly a top 10 and I finally hear what this song is all about.

There are things we do, think or feel which lead us believe in the enemy's lies. These lies, spelt "regret" and especially "defeat" can replay themselves over and over in our minds until it replaces our true identity in Christ. Once Satan succeed in causing us to doubt our identity, it is easy to drag us all the way down.

But God is more merciful & faithful than we can imagine. He draws close to us in our whisper. He is only but a heartbeat away.

I am no longer defined by all the wreckage behind. The one who makes all things true is proven is true. Yeah! :) Today, I want to sing "Hello, my name is child of the one true King. I've been saved, I've
been changed, and I have been set free. "Amazing Grace" is the song I sing. Hello, my name is child of the one true King! What love the Father has lavished upon us, that we should be called His children. I am a child of the one true King."

After a gruelling four months, dawn has finally broke. I believe I am finally begin to taste freedom. Thank you God. What a God. :)



Hello My Name is - by Matthew West

Hello, my name is regret 
I'm pretty sure we have met 
Every single day of your life I'm the whisper inside 
That won't let you forget
 
Hello, my name is defeat I know you recognize me 
Just when you think you can win I'll drag you right back down again 
'Til you've lost all belief
 
These are the voices, these are the lies And I have believed them, for the very last time
 
Chorus: Hello, my name is child of the one true King 
I've been saved, I've been changed, and I have been set free 
"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing 
  Hello, my name is child of the one true King
 
I am no longer defined by all the wreckage behind  
The one who makes all things new Has proven it's true 
Just take a look at my life
 
Hello, my name is child of the one true King 
I've been saved, I've been changed, and I have been set free 
"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing Hello,
my name is child of the one true King
 
Bridge: What love the Father has lavished upon us 
That we should be called His children  
I am a child of the one true King
What love the Father has lavished upon us  
That we should be called His children
 
Chorus: Hello, my name is child of the one true King 
 I've been saved, I've been changed, and I have been set free 
"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing Hello, 
my name is child of the one true King
I am a child of the one true King

Lyrics: Metro Lyrics

Steady my Heart

Wish it could be easy
Why is life so messy
Why is pain a part of us
There are days I feel like Nothing ever goes right  
Sometimes it just hurts so much

But You're here You're real I know 
I can trust You
Even when it hurts
Even when it's hard  
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You Cause I know that You are 
Lover of my soul  
Healer of my scars  

You steady my heart (x2)
I'm not gonna worry I know that 
You got me Right inside the palm of your hand
Each and every moment  
What's good and what gets broken

Happens just the way that You plan
And I will run to You  
And find refuge in Your arms
And I will sing to You Cause of everything 
You are You steady my heart (x2)
