We have been richly blessed by our gracious God.  Most significantly, He has granted us forgiveness and new life in Christ.  Having been so blessed, we are called to be a blessing to others, shining forth His life in our lives.

This song was written for St. John's Lutheran School in Napa, California as the school's theme song for the 2001-2002 school year.  It was used in chapel services throughout the year to reinforce the theme for the children.

Chorus
Blessed to be a blessing
Blessed to live your love
Blessed to share with others every blessing from above
Blessed to walk in mercy
Blessed to light the way
Oh, Blessed to be a blessing every day 
 

Verse 1
Oh my Jesus, you have blessed me
You died for me to take my sin away
Now you live your life in me
And the love received is love I give away 
 

Verse 2
Oh my Jesus, make me a blessing
In my work and play, in everything I do
Oh let your blessing flow through me
That in seeing me, may others see you
