Be Blessed

How blessed are the lips that come with a kind word
Share a kiss and a gentle answer
Trade your stone for the bread of grace
Let kind words fill the air — Let peace rise

Blessed are the hands that care for the poor
Hands that serve when others walk away
Caring for the wounded and the fallen among us

Remembering to trust — when none else would
Blessed are the eyes that can see his brother’s sadness
Blessed are the lashes — that bear a lonely tear

Somewhere a song has lost its meaning
In the shadows a melody plays out of key

God bless the arms who reach out to the dying
Stretched out hands that give to the poor
Blessed are the feet that run into battle
Who love the masses, and honor each one

Somewhere a runner has lost his footing
Somewhere a champion loses heart

Blessed is the lamb who heals our diseases
Wondrous and mighty — He governs all day long
Bless the Lord, O my soul be still

In every way, be blessed
Be happy and blessed — you and yours

Let every heart be blessed this day
