Blessed
D.O.S. feat. Gidon Ben Israel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
And it feels like we're on a path of self destruction
While we're steady destroying your world
And ignoring all your instructions
I guess it's just too much reaction
For the sake of the show
And we really don't know
How blessed we really are though
Tell me father, how you feel about it
I know it makes you sad and even angry when you think about it
That's why I'm trying hard to help lead your people out of it
This must be what Moses felt like leading the children of Israel out of it
We sit here and call on your name when we need you
But as soon as you deliver us we forget about you
But yet instill you bless us with life everyday
Blessed are the weak
Because he is strong
Blessed are those that accept him
For their life will be long
Blessed are the pure in heart
For they will see God
Blessed are the peacemakers
For they will be called Children of God
All that he ask is that we except him into our hearts
And he will never depart
From by our side
We were once children of the night
But know we are the light because of Christ
We only get one life
And we gotta do it right
We have been waiting for this moment all our life
For God to open up the windows of heaven
And pour out blessings on our life
But we aren't willing to go the distance
Or make the sacrifice of giving up our life
So I guess we're gonna just be stuck
In this same old rut, Right
Of asking for deliverance and blessings
But never being able to walk in the fullness
Blessed are the weak
Because he is strong
Blessed are those that accept him
For their life will be long
Blessed are the pure in heart
For they will see God
Blessed are the peacemakers
For they will be called Children of God
Don't let the calamities of the world cause you to lose focus
On your mission that's been giving to you
We gotta stay focused so we can take our chances
And it's all so clear to me
When we're goin through the motions
And when we keep up there ain't no stopping us
One thing we gotta know is that he's got a vision
That will only take us to the top
It will never cause us to flop
As long as we follow his lead then blessings will never stop
Cause he has made us the cream of the crop
Even when your back is against the wall
Stand tall, rebuke that devil and tell him that
You serve a God that sits high and looks low
He provides everything you need, Yo
Blessed are the weak
Because he is strong
Blessed are those that accept him
For their life will be long
Blessed are the pure in heart
For they will see God
Blessed are the peacemakers
For they will be called Children of God
Blessed are the weak
Because he is strong
Blessed are those that accept him
For their life will be long
Blessed are the pure in heart
For they will see God
Blessed are the peacemakers
For they will be called Children of God
