Jesus
Right now
Lord
Right now

I don't deserve it
Still I'm asking you to bless me
Anyhow
Lord anyhow
Come on and bless
Bless me Jesus
And do it
Right now yes Lord
Right now
Let me say it again

Even though I don't deserve it
But still I want you to bless Lord
Anyhow

So come on and bless
Bless me Jesus and do it right now oh Lord
Right now
One more thing you see
You blessed your people
In the bible days
Many years ago
And now I'm asking you
To bless me here tonight
You can do it

I wonder if anybody
Anybody else want to be bless tonight
Anybody here that want to be blessed
Anybody here want to ask him to bless
Say bless me
Tell him bless me

I don't want to see no evil

I know I don't deserve it
I don't deserve it
but I want you
to bless me
give me more love
I want to love
like you told me
give me another mind
I want to think
like you want me to
I want to see what you showed me
Lord let me walk the way you told me
come on and bless me
