[Verse 1]
Woke up broke and laughing
Coffee in a chipped old cup
Still that quiet kind of knowing
Somehow God will lift me up
Neighbor knocking at my doorway
Tears all tangled in her hair
Empty fridge but open heart
“Come inside
We’ll find a chair”
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it me in need of mercy?
Is it me You’re sending out?
Either way I hear You whisper
“I am here
” in every shout
[Chorus]
Blessing or blessed
Either way
I’m held in Your hands
Pouring or pressed
You turn every “less” into “I can”
If I’m down on my knees or lifting the rest
I’m living in Your promise
Blessing or blessed
[Verse 2]
Paycheck gone by Monday
Still I pass that plate around
Watch a widow drop her coins in
Hear a miracle in the sound
Phone lights up at midnight
“Brother
I can’t see the way”
So I drive through empty streets
Singing hope into his grey
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I’m the broken body
Some days I’m the outstretched palm
Same Savior in the chaos
Same Savior in the calm
[Chorus]
Blessing or blessed
Either way
I’m held in Your hands
Pouring or pressed
You turn every “less” into “I can”
If I’m down on my knees or lifting the rest
I’m living in Your promise
Blessing or blessed
[Bridge]
You know what I need
Before I can speak (oh-oh)
Sometimes it’s shelter
Sometimes it’s me being the key
You know what we need
So send me
I’m free (hey!)
If You want to move a mountain
You can start with me
[Chorus]
Blessing or blessed
Either way
I’m held in Your hands
Pouring or pressed
You turn every “less” into “I can”
If I’m down on my knees or lifting the rest
I’m living in Your promise
Blessing or blessed
[Outro]
Blessing or blessed
Every breath
Every step
Blessing or blessed
I give what I get (yeah)
Blessing or blessed
You’re the reason I’m blessed
