Good Soul Music

Every now and then I hear a song and just get obsessed with it, playing it over and over again...literally. Well, I happen to come across one of those songs this past week. It resonated so much with my heart and the lives of those around me right now that I just can't stop listening to it and singing unnecessarily loudly in the car when it comes on because...I do sing loudly.


 It talks about the blessings of God and what that can look like and how often we don't recognize many of those blessings. When I first heard the song, I thought it was such a sad song. But the the more I listen to it, the more my heart just rejoices and agrees with what is said. Take a look at the lyrics and listen to it for yourself (click on the album cover).  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.


Blessings by Laura Story
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'd 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 the 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 aching 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

I love music. But I love even more when music speaks to the soul. There is nothing better than a song that speaks the language of your heart. I just love it...
Happy Friday:)
