1 There's a blessing for me,
When my Saviour I see,
On the cross where he died for my sin;
There the lifegiving tide
To my soul is applied,
And His Spirit breaths pardon within.

Chorus:
A blessing for me,
Yes, a blessing for me;
Through Jesus, my Saviour,
A blessing for me.

2 There's a blessing for me,
Grace, abundant and free,
When I bow at the blood-sprinkled throne;
For the Lord will prepare
Precious answers to pray'r,
When I'm trusting His promise alone. [Chorus]

3 There's a blessing for me,
When to Jesus I flee;
Ev'ry burden He helps me to bear;
He will double my joy,
All my foes will destroy,
'Till at last, in His glory I share. [Chorus]
