Its A Blessing
Kirk Franklin · Other Songs - Kirk Franklin
Just being alive in the eyes of Jesus is blessing for you and me
Just being alive in the eyes of Jesus I'm grateful He takes care of me
Through my joy and through my pain I'm the center of His will
In the midst of it all, Its a blessing
(Soloist sings Chorus)

Right now, He's blessing....... me
