Lyrics
BLESSINGS
May the wind be at your back
And the sunshine on your face
And the wings of destiny carry you
To a love you can embrace
May your dreams fill up the pages
Of how your life unfolds
And the things you hold so dear (to you)
Give you comfort when you're old
I hope the good things life can bring you
Be the way your story goes
And when the questions become harder
May you ask the one who knows
I hope (for) every good thing for you
And for all your children too
And may all of God's (great) blessings
Be the things he gives to you
And may your happiness keep growing
Like a wave that hugs the shore
And as your years grow longer
May God's blessings become yours
And if the clouds on the horizon
Become darker and close in
May the love that you have nurtured
Shelter you and your children
I hope the good things life can bring you
Be the way your story goes
And when the questions become harder
May you ask the one who knows
I hope every good thing for you
And for all your children too
And may all of gods great blessings
Be the things he gives to you
And as winter approaches
I hope your home is warm and bright
And your family loved and cared for
When you turn out the light
And when you see your final hour
On this earth is drawing near
May you be loved and surrounded
By the ones you hold most dear
I hope the good things life can bring you
Be the way your story goes
And when the questions become harder
May you ask the one who knows
I hope every good thing for you
And for all your children too
And may all of gods great blessings
Be the things he gives to you
