Jesus
Right now
Lord
I know
I don't deserve it
Still I'm asking you to bless me
Anyhow
Lord anyhow
Come on and bless
Bless me Jesus
And do it
Right now yes Lord
Right now
Let me say it again
bless me
Bless me Jesus
Right now
Lord right now
Even though I don't deserve it
But still I want you to bless Lord
Anyhow
Lord anyhow
So come on and bless
Bless me Jesus and do it right now oh Lord
Right now
One more thing you see
You blessed your people
In the bible days
Many years ago
And now I'm asking you
To bless me here tonight
You can do it
I already no
Come on
And bless
Me Jesus
Come and bless
Me Jesus
I wonder if anybody
Anybody else want to be bless tonight
Anybody here that want to be blessed
Anybody here want to ask him to bless
Say bless me
Tell him bless me
bless me
tell him to bless me
bless my eyes
I don't want to see no evil
bless my
tongue
speak no wrong
come on bless me Lord
I know I don't deserve it
I don't deserve it
but I want you
to bless me
give me more love
I want to love
like you told me
give me another mind
I want to think
like you want me to
I want to see what you showed me
Lord let me walk the way you told me
come on and bless me
right now
right now
right now
standing here
wanting you to bless me
standing here Lord
come on
come on Lord
come on Lord
bless me
bless me
I know you can
I know you can
you done it before
I know you can
I already know
you can do it
and do it
and do it right now
In this song, Lee Williams & The Spiritual QC's are singing a prayer to Jesus to bless them. They acknowledge that they may not deserve it but they still want to be blessed anyhow. The repetition of "bless me Jesus, right now" shows the urgency and sincerity of their request. They also reference how Jesus blessed his people in biblical times and pray for that same blessing to be bestowed upon them.
The lyrics also contain requests for specific blessings, such as to bless their eyes so they do not see evil and to bless their tongues so they do not speak wrongly. These requests come from the desire to be more like Jesus and to live a life that is pleasing to him. The song ends with the lead singer continuing to plead for Jesus to bless him and for the rest of the congregation to also ask for his blessings.
