Often I wonder, as I sail on alone
Is there anything in life guaranteed
I searched for an answer
Or even a clue
That would satisfy my every need
But through it all
I realized
There's so much to life than we see
I sum it all up in one phrase
I am truly blessed

Yes, there are those times
When my road gets so long
And I stumble along
I stumble along in the dark
As I search for the truth
See it all became clear
See the answer was not very far
So I reached out my hand
And I called out His name
And His spirit
His spirit filled me within, oh yeah
If I could sum it up (sum it up) in one phrase
I am truly blessed

Oh oh, I am truly blessed
Truly, truly blessed
There's nothing more precious than life
Oh no
I didn't realize at first
That it could've have been worse
I gotta say
I am truly blessed
Oh yeah

Now that I know just what I must be
And I see exactly what life
What life can put you through, oh yeah
I go through life now
With a smile on my face
'Cause there's nothing
There's nothing
There's nothing that I cannot do
Now that I know
I'm not all alone
He's there
And I know that He'll see me through
I guess I'll sum it all up in one phrase
That I am truly blessed

Mmmm
I am truly blessed
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
There's nothing more precious than life

Precious than life
Oh, when I look back and see
The things He's done for me
I gotta say
I am truly blessed
Way down in my heart I know
I am truly blessed
'Cause nothing, no, no
There's nothing more precious than life
When I look back and see
The things He's done for me
I know, yeah
I am truly blessed

Yeah
Just to show there's a sunlights of the days
And oh, just to show
There's a moonlight of the night hour
I've got real life of my very own
Oh, I know I gotta be strong
Dealing with the situation
I say it in my prayer
Now I sing it, I sing
I sing I sing I sing I sing
There's nothing more precious than life
No no no no

I want the world to see
The light that shines in me (oh)
I am truly blessed
Oh well
Well well well well
I am truly blessed

Oh, I want you to see this in me
I am truly blessed
I want you to see this in me
I wanna tell the word about it
I am truly blessed
I wanna tell the whole world about it
I wanna tell the whole word about it
I am truly blessed
I wanna tell the whole world
I am truly blessed
I woke up in my right mind this morning
I am truly blessed
I am truly blessed
I've been truly blessed
I am truly blessed
I've been truly blessed
I've been blessed by You, oh yeah

Nobody but You
Nobody but You, Lord
I have been blessed by You
Nobody else but You, Lord
Yes, you did
I've been blessed by You
Truly truly truly
Truly truly truly, oh yeah
I have been blessed by You
Oh Lord, oh Lord, I gotta say, I gotta say
Truly blessed
Bless me
Truly blessed
Oh oh, Lord, I gotta tell somebody
How you've been good to me, yeah
Yes, I have
I don't mind, I don't mind telling the world how you've been good to me, yeah
