I've Been Blessed
by Barbara Philbrook

I've been blessed and I wish to say,
if it's your desire you'll be blessed in the very same way.

The Bible tells us about what is offered for free,
of each the things God wants to do for you and me.

There are promises to supply our every need,
and some of our desires we needn't beg or plead.

We are promised that the way will be shown,
and if we accept Jesus we are taken as God's very own.

We will become the brothers and sisters of Jesus, God's own Son,
He promises to accept us all each and every one.

God does not will that even one should perish,
and if we will just allow it, each of us He'll cherish.

There is healing for the sick, restorations for the lame,
there are no favorites, He loves us all the same.

Eternal life, where the lion and lamb lay side by side,
where there will never be pain, nor fear to abide.

I've been blessed and I gratefully adore my Savior,
because He first loved me, despite my sinful behavior.
