MALKIYAH

Music really ministers to my heart in a special way. Especially through hard times, God uses  truth centered lyrics to really speak to my heart. I’m thankful that God works ALL things together for the good of those who love Him, and are called according to his purpose. Even the hard things in life can be used to bless us, as we mature in our faith and draw nearer to God. Through recent trials I have learned how God uses fire to refine us, various trials to mature us, and hard things to bring us into closer relationship with Him. If the blessing of the hard things in life is that they teach me to love  & trust Christ more and to walk closer to Him, then I should be able to “count it ALL joy” and “rejoice in ALL circumstances”.

I am so thankful for people who use their musical talents as a tool to minister to the hearts of other people. God used this song by Laura Story to really bless me in the last few days. She is one talented lady, and all for his glory!

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
