I Am Blessed

An expression of gratitude

"I Am Blessed"

I could've been an astronaut

flying in a rocket to outer space.

I'd see the stars a little closer;

how they shine and hold their place.

But I am just a laborer;

a sinner saved by grace, 

yet I am blessed and find my

rest when I have fallen on my face.

I could've been a doctor;

maybe find a cure for cancer.

When the sick would raise a question, 

I'd be sure to give an answer.

But I am just the patient; 

a sinner saved by grace,

yet I am blessed and find my 

rest when I have fallen on my face.

I could've been a singer.

I'd sing for all the world to hear.

The sound of peace and hope

would resonate inside their ears.

But I am just a listener;

a sinner saved by grace,

yet I am blessed and find my

rest when I have fallen on my face.

I could've been a business man;

making deals and lots of money,

though I've read that sickness comes 

when we have eaten too much honey.

But I am just a layman;

a sinner saved by grace,

yet I am blessed and find my 

rest when I have fallen on my face.

I could've been a preacher;

A faithful servant to the King. 

When I'd speak, the earth would listen

and find their place beneath His wing.

But I am just a drifter;

a sinner saved by grace,

yet I am blessed and find my rest 

when I have fallen on my face.

I could've been a sailor;

just my boat and an open sea.

But if I could be anything I want,

I'm okay with being me;

a child of God, bought by love,

a sinner saved by grace,

for I am blessed to find my rest

when I have fallen on my face.
