Verse 1:
I may never climb a mountain so I can see the world from there
I may never ride the waves and taste the salty ocean air
Or build a bridge, that would last a hundred years
But no matter where the road leads
One thing is always clear
Chorus:
I am blessed, I am blessed
From when I rise up in the morning
Til I lay my head to rest
I feel You near me
You sooth me when I'm weary
Oh Lord, for all the worst and all the best
I am blessed
Verse 2:
All along the road less traveled, I have crawled and I have run
I have wandered through the wind and rain until I found the sun
The watching eyes asked me why, I walked this narrow way
I will gladly give the reason
For the hope I have today
(chorus)
Bridge:
You've given me joy
You've given me love
You give me strength when I want to give up
You came from Heaven to rescue my soul
This is the reason I know
I know
(chorus)
=======================================
This is the current song playing over my head. It's a nice reminder that I am blessed. I really love the chorus of this song. It expresses what I want to say to Him right now. "Oh Lord, for all the worst and all the best, I am blessed" - such a strong statement! Sometimes we feel blessed only in what we think our "good times" but we forget that we're still blessed even in our "bad times".
I remembered this chorus while trying to patiently wait during one particular traffic jam. I was about to lose my patience and was about to complain about the traffic when I noticed the people inside the jeep in front of my car. They seemed to be getting impatient also because of the traffic. It seemed hot inside the jeep. Maybe some were annoyed with the jeepney driver's choice of music. I realized I was blessed. I was sitting comfortably in my car's well-cushioned seat. My car has an aircon unit. I could listen to my choice of music. And besides I was only about 500 meters away from our village's gate at that time. "Oh God, forgive me when I whine." :)
