Laura’s Story

There’s no denying some of the blessings in Laura Story’s life. She wrote the No. 1 worship hit “Indescribable” recorded in 2004 by Chris Tomlin, married a handsome athlete named Martin Elvington the next year, and began working in music and women’s ministry at the 4,000-member Perimeter Church in Atlanta. After signing an artist deal with the INO Records, her 2008 national debut won a Dove Award for Inspirational Album and earned Laura two consecutive nominations for Female Vocalist of the Year—all blessings, indeed.

But amidst that success a brain tumor hospitalized her husband in 2006. The faith Story sang about was put through the unexpected fires of fear and loneliness; most young newlyweds don’t imagine being kept alive at one point by breathing machines or having to find their way through significant post-operative vision and memory loss. Could grace notes resound from such a life-altering struggle? Laura’s incisive new album, Blessings, suggests they do…

Lyrics

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

Blessings By Laura Story Meaning

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(s) 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

The Message Behind the Song

Blessings by laura story sheet music

This song will capture your hearts as Laura sings about her faith, and the time when her husband was diagnosed with a serious illness (brain tumor). His diagnosis put her through unexpected episodes of fear and loneliness that helped her view God’s blessings from a new perspective.

Story explains how the inspiration behind writing the song. She shares that she went through a period of questioning God. She wanted to know why she spent years praying for her husband’s healing but it never came.

She shares feeling stuck in a place where she needed to make a choice. She had to choose whether to judge God based on their circumstances, or choose to judge their circumstances based on what they hold to be true of God? She learned to wake up every morning and trust God with their lives.

And that’s what ‘Blessings’ is about. It’s considering… maybe the blessing is actually found in the absence of the thing that she’s praying for.

Laura Story

Laura is also the writer of the number one worship hit ‘Indescribable’, recorded in 2004 by Chris Tomlin. She is married to athlete Martin Elvington.

The meaning behind this song is so precious and heartfelt. Sometimes life does not turn out the way we want to, but we can’t stop trusting God. He has something bigger and better in store for us. He is the only One who can see the big picture. Keep on trusting God especially when you go through trials because that is often when you experience God’s greatest blessings.
