The Blessing by John Waller

I had shared with my PRAISEmoms prayer group a while back that this song really ministered to me one day quite recently. I had never heard it even though it is not a "new song". Working on future music for church worship services today I spent quite a bit of time listneing to and thinking about the words to this song. The final ending is so powerful to me! See if it challenges you as it has me!

(ENDING)
For Your kingdom
For our children
For the sake of ev'ry nation
For Your kingdom
For our children
For the sake of ev'ry nation
We will choose to be a blessing for life
For life
Blessing for life
For life
Verse 1
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
Verse 2
And 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
Verse 3
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
Chorus
This day
You set life You set death right before us
This day
Ev'ry blessing and curse is a choice now
And we will choose to be a blessing for life
We will choose to be a blessing for life
Misc 1
(BRIDGE)
'Cause blessings and curses are choices
Will we build up tear down
The moment of truth is now
Misc 2
(ENDING)
For Your kingdom
For our children
For the sake of ev'ry nation
For Your kingdom
For our children
For the sake of ev'ry nation
We will choose to be a blessing for life
For life
