The Blessing Lyrics
(guest appearance by Mark Hall of Casting Crowns) Deuteronomy 30:19 - John Waller and Troy Denning
"I lived 20 years of my life struggling with depression and handling it with medication. God delivered and healed me 3 1'2 years ago. Depression has run through my family for generations. As a young boy, my family told me that I had this illness too, I believed it and therefore it became real in my life. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is.." Jesus bore this curse along with every other at the cross. When I began to believe His reality, my reality changed. It's so important that we speak truth and blessing over our spouses, children and everyone else. The power to bless and to curse is in the tongue.. I figured it was time for this truth to be said in a song."
Let it be said of us while we walked among the living Let it be said of us by the ones we leave behind Let it be said of us that we lived to be a blessing for life Let it be said of us that we gave to reach the dying Let it be said of us by the fruit we leave behind Let it be said of us that our legacy is blessing for life
This day, You set life, You set death right before us This day, every blessing and curse is a choice now And we will choose to be a blessing for life
Let it be said of us that our hearts belonged to Jesus Let it be said of us that we spoke the words of life Let it be said of us that our heritage is blessing for life
We will choose to be a blessing for life 'Cause blessings and curses are choices 'Cause blessings and curses are choices Will we build up, tear down, the moment of truth is now
For your Kingdom For our children For the sake of every nation
We will choose to be a blessing for life, for life Blessing for life
