Bless God lyrics - Brooke Ligertwood, Cody Carnes

VERSE 1
Blessed are those who run to Him
Who place their hope and confidence
In Jesus
He won’t forsake them

VERSE 2
Blessed are those who seek His face
Who bend their knee and fix their gaze
On Jesus
They won’t be shaken

CHORUS
Come on and praise the Lord with me
Sing if you love His name
Come on and lift your voice with me
He’s worthy of all our praise
Come on and bring your offering
Sing if you’ve known His grace
Come on and lift up your holy hands
He’s worthy of all our praise

BRIDGE
Blessed are those who walk with Him
Whose hearts are set on pilgrimage with Jesus
They’ll see His glory

Blessed are those who die to live
Whose joy it is to give it all for Jesus
And for Him only
Oh Jesus
All for Your glory

Bless God in the sanctuary
Bless God in the fields of plenty
Bless God in the darkest valley
Every chance I get
I bless Your name

Bless God when my hands are empty
Bless God with a praise that costs me
Bless God when nobody’s watching
Every chance I get
I bless Your name

Bless God when the weapon’s forming
Bless God when the walls are falling
Bless God ‘cause He goes before me
Every chance I get
I bless Your name

Bless God for He holds the vict’ry
Bless God for He’s always with me
Bless God for He’s always worthy
Every chance I get
I bless Your name
