Bless Me Indeed

(Verse 1)

Despite his name, J-bez believed in grace,

The favor of the Lord, he did embrace.

Though his name meant sorrow from the start,

He lifted his prayer from a trusting heart.

(Chorus)

Oh Lord, would You bless me indeed,

Enlarge my borders, meet every need.

Let Your hand be with me each day,

Keep me from evil, Lord, I pray.

And God, You heard his earnest cry—

J-bez prayer to his Lord on high.

(Verse 2)

Not born of might, not born of fame,

Yet heaven moved when he spoke Your name.

Though hidden in Scripture’s obscurity,

You marked his faith for all eternity.

(Chorus)

Oh Lord, would You bless me indeed,

Enlarge my borders, meet every need.

Let Your hand be with me each day,

Keep me from evil, Lord, I pray.

And God, You heard his earnest cry—

J-bez prayer to his Lord on high.

(Bridge)

So when I’m weak and filled with doubt,

When trouble tries to hem me out,

I’ll lift his words with faith anew,

For what You did for him, You still can do.

(Chorus)

Oh Lord, would You bless me indeed,

Enlarge my borders, meet every need.

Let Your hand be with me each day,

Keep me from evil, Lord, I pray.

And God, You heard his earnest cry—

J-bez prayer to his Lord on high.
