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
