Only give me that which I can bear
Do not allow my eyes to be closed;
Make me lie down in green pastures
Make me sip cool waters
Lord if you must bless me
Bless me with rain,
Bless me with the ray of sunshine on what would otherwise be a gloomy morning
I ask, Lord
That if the rain must come with cold.
Bless me with a coat. Bless me with fire. Bless me with a book
Lord if you must bless me
Bless me that I will see my enemies as they smile at me
Bless me with restraint tethered to a strange boldness, dear Lord
Lord, if you must bless me
Bless me with sweet, cherished slumber
Bless me with sweet children
Bless me with will-power and zeal
Bless me with good teeth and a healthy mind(set)
Bless me with a giving heart
Bless me with a committed faith
Lord, if you must bless me
Keep my mother’s children safe
Bless my folks for life
If you must bless me, God
Only a few ambition
Bless me with relentless pursuit
Bless me with glow and light.
Lord if you must bless me
Give me with a steady eye
Bless me with an open heart
Bless me with dancing feet
Bless me with loving hands/arms
Bless me with a beating chest
Bless me with a chariot on fire
And lastly, Were you to bless me, Lord, like yesterday
Still.
Stay with me through the night
Teach me to be still
And when morning comes,
Bless me with a tight back
Bless me with a light heart
Bless me with a clenched fist
Bless me with open arms.
