What if Your Blessings Come through Raindrops

Cuma pengen share lagu aja sih... hehe. Ceritanya aku nemu lagu ini waktu mau donlod lagu yang di-share sama C’ Cella lewat blognya (judulnya ‘Grace (by Laura Story)’). Nah, aku iseng-iseng donlod lagu yang penyanyinya sama dengan lagu di atas, dan ketemulah lagu ini :B Lagu ini judulnya ‘Blessings’, dan eh... lagu ini emang bener-bener memberkatiku banget :) bahkan lagu ini kaya’ nyeritain apa yang aku alami selama ini #tsahhsokpede :p haha.

Dari lagu ini juga, Tuhan ingatkan aku bahwa berkat-berkat-Nya udah Dia kasih ke aku, dan harusnya aku bersyukur karenanya. Yessss, it’s absolutely true, God! I know that You’re near :) nggak cuma itu, Dia juga ingatkan bahwa dunia ini bukan rumahku. Penderitaan dan masalah yang aku (dan semua orang percaya, termasuk kalian :)) hadapi, pada saatnya nanti akan berakhir. Yang harus kita lakukan saat ini adalah tetap percaya kepada-Nya, dan membiarkan terus berkarya melalui hidup kita.

Bagian lirik yang paling kena di hati *ciehh* buatku itu, “We pray for healing (1^st verse)...we cry in anger when we can’t feel You’re near (2^nd verse)... When friends betray us, when darkness seems to win, we know the pain reminds this heart that this is not, this is not our home (bridge)”. Yepp, 3 bagian itu pas banget sama apa yang aku alami dan doakan selama ini. Walopun aku nggak marah sama Tuhan (hm, mungkin ke arah doubting Him :s duh, maaf Tuhan -.-), tapi pernah sih aku mikir, “Sebenernya Tuhan itu dengerin doa-doaku nggak sih? Kok selama ini apa yang aku doain nggak terwujud terus :’’ cupekss yang doaa~” #sigh

But it doesn’t matter lah. Selama masih dikasih kesempatan buat berdoa, I’ll use the opportunity :) karena doa adalah nafas hidup orang percaya.

Soo... enjoy and be blessed from this song :)

Blessings

(Laura Story)

1^st Verse

We pray for blessings, we pray for peace

Comfort our family, protection while we sleep

We pray for healing, for prosperity

We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering

And all the while, You hear each spoken need

Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

Chorus

‘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

2^nd Verse

We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear

We cry in anger when we can not feel You’re near

We doubt Your goodness, we doubt our love

As if every promise from Your word is enough

And all the while, You hear each desperate plea

And long that we’d have faith to believe

(back to Chorus)

Bridge

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

Chorus

‘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 my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life

Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy

What if trials of this life

The rain, the storms, the hardest nights

Are Your mercies in disguise

I hope this is not a stupidty when I committed for praying for you since 2 years ago :)

Because I trust that God is the Healer, and He’ll heal based on His desire, not ours :)
