The Blessing

In the morning when you rise

I bless the sun, I bless the skies

I bless your lips, I bless your eyes

My blessing goes with you

In the nighttime when you sleep

Oh I bless you while a watch I keep

As you lie in slumber deep

My blessing goes with you

This is my prayer for you

There for you, ever true

Each, every day for you

In everything you do

And when you come to me

And hold me close to you

I bless you

And you bless me, too

When your weary heart is tired

If the world would leave you uninspired

When nothing more of love's desired

My blessing goes with you

When the storms of life are strong

When you're wounded, when you don't belong

When you no longer hear my song

My blessing goes with you

This is my prayer for you

There for you, ever true

Each, every day for you

In everything you do

And when you come to me

And hold me close to you

I bless you

And you bless me, too

I bless you

And you bless me, too
