Cover #005 - Blessings

in #steem-music7 years ago (edited)

I first heard bout this song through @calvinlee, and basically this song is all about blessings in disguise.
I guess as a normal human being, we all have our ideals, our needs, our wants, our desires, expectations, and own goals in life.
It may be hitting millions, or billions, own properties, financial freedom, health, or even just being with our family.

Life as real as it is, may not always turns out the way we expected it to be.
I can only say, life has hit me real hard, these past 1 or 2 years.
And I realised I don't always get what I want, or in the package I expect it to be.

Sometimes things just go haywire, no matter how much you've planned.
I guess, death for one, is unpredictable.
I lost one of my closest family members two years ago, and I'm still in recovery. :/

Sorry that I started out the post in such a melancholy tone.
haha I promise you I'll end high.

My pastors always encourage us to count our blessings.
And I did, I really tried.

Along the way, I just realised God has blessed me in so many ways, if and only if, I start to count my blessings, I would then realise the setbacks, the discouragement, and pitfalls are somewhat a blessing in disguise.

At least in my toughest time this season of my life, I thank God for my bed, and my comfortable house! :)

We presented this song "Blessings" in one of our church service last week. Excuse the mistakes! :/
The song is originally in English, but we did it in chinese because we are singing to the chinese-ed audience.
Hope this song reminded you to count your blessings too! :)



English Translation:

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 is 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

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not our home

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
