Blessed Be the Blessor

In Ephesians 1:3 the Apostle Paul was inspired to write the following wonderful words of praise and truth regarding our gracious God. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ". The entire chapter is a detailed account of the many things that our loving God has done on our behalf in Christ. Oh, how blessed the believer is as His child. Chosen, predestined according to His purpose, adopted, redeemed, forgiven, lavished with His grace, granted knowledge of the mystery of His will, beneficiaries of an inheritance, afforded hope in Christ and sealed in Him by the Holy Spirit of promise. Furthermore we are told that these blessings have been given to us freely and are according to His love, His purpose, and the kind intention and counsel of His will.

A few months ago, this great chapter of scripture prompted me to write the following song which I pray might be a blessing to others. I guess to others it is more of a poem although I wrote it with a melody in mind.

Blessed Be the Blessor 

Blessed be the Blessor

He’s blessed me this I know

By grace I am His child

By grace He loves me so

Blessed be the Blessor

Predestined in His love

Trespasses all forgiven

In kindness from God above

Blessed be the Blessor

Spiritual blessings in Christ are mine

And in this life He’s given

Each one of them divine

Blessed be the Blessor

The One who comforts me

In all my woes and worries

His loving care is what I see

Blessed be the Blessor

In Christ my hope is sure

The Spirit is my promise

In Christ sealed and secure

Yes, Blessed be the Blessor

Joy and peace He gives

Honor, glory, praise are due Him

Each creation wonder His

Blessed be the Blessor

Through Christ He strengthens me

To serve Him and serve others

In grace and humility

Blessed be the Blessor

One day He will come again

His Church, the dead and living

Forevermore to be with Him

Blessed be the Blessor

One day His face I’ll see

Yes blessed be the Blessor

The One who died for me

Yes, blessed be the Blessor

Oh, truly can it be

That I will dwell with Him one day

For all eternity

Yes, I will dwell with Him one day

For all eternity
