Blessed to be Blessing


"God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause His face to shine upon us… that Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy saving health among all nations… God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him" (Psalm 67:1,2,7).  "My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth Me… Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks (Proverbs 27:11,23).  "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations… through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 2:9,20).   

The Lord has surely blessed His own,
And on them He has shined His face
That He might make salvation known
Through those who find His saving grace. 

We hear Him say, "My son be wise,"
That He may answer him that mocks
And halt the damage of the lies
That lead astray His precious flocks. 

The Lord knows how to shelter us
Beneath the shadow of His wings. 
His love for us is marvelous
With benefits He daily brings. 

O Lord, how greatly we are blest,
That we may be a blessing too.  
We worship You as we attest
That every blessing flows from You.
