  What if Your healing comes through tears
  And what if a thousand sleepless nights
  Are what it takes to know You’re near

  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 – Laura Story “Blessings”
