A cry to God for mercy and blessing in the midst of life's struggles.

Lyrics

Bless Me

I was feeling it like never before the weight of the world was on my shoulders
I lay struggling in the middle of the floor between God and what felt like a boulder
Then I got down on my knees and said I'm not getting up until you bless me

Brigde:
And like Jacob in the middle of the night - Lord I'm not letting go - I'm gonna fight for my life
I want to take what's wrong and make it right - Bring me out of the darkness and into your light

Chorus:
Bless me, bless me according to your mercy
Bless me, bless me according to your mercy

A crowd followed Jesus as he left Jericho, a blind man was begging on the side of the road
Blind Bartimaeus, his spirit was bold, above the noise of the crowd his voice (expectant) arose
For in his heart he fully believed and cried out "Jesus son of David have mercy on me!"
And he was not worthy to receive, but God heals a man because he believes
So here I am again on my knees, if you did it for him, you can do it for me!

Chorus:
Bless me, bless me according to your mercy
Bless me, bless me according to your mercy

Bridge:
Yes I have sinned, and I've been cleansed, cleansed in the blood of the lamb
Yes I have been, forgiven, but now I need a touch from your hand yeah

Bless me, bless me according to your mercy
Bless me, bless me I'm crying out for mercy
