We were blessed by the
minister
Who practiced what he
preached
We were blessed by the poor
man
Who said heaven is within
reach
We were blessed by the girl
selling roses
Showed us how to live
We were blessed by the
neglected child
Who knew how to forgive
We were blessed by the
battered woman
Who didn't seek revenge
We were blessed by the
warrior
Who didn't need to win
We were blessed by the blind
man
Who could see for miles and
miles
We were blessed by the
fighter
Who didn't fight for the
prize
We were blessed by the mother
Who gave up the child
We were blessed by the
soldier
Who gave up his life
We were blessed by the
teacher
Who didn't have a degree
We were blessed by the
prisoner
Who knew how to be free
We were blessed
Yeah, we were blessed
We were blessed by the mystic
Who turned water into wine
We were blessed by the
watchmaker
Who gave up his time
We were blessed by the
wounded man
Who felt no pain
By the wayfaring stranger
Who knew our names
We were blessed by the
homeless man
Who showed us the way home
We were blessed by the hungry
man
Who filled us with love
By the little innocent baby
Who taught us the truth
We were blessed by the
forlorn
Forsaken and abused
We were blessed
Yeah, we were blessed
Mmm, we were blessed
Yeah, we were blessed
We were blessed
