Blessing

Listen on Soundcloud

This is my most-recorded composition. If you want to record Blessing, please contact me about making a donation to your food bank or women’s shelter in lieu of royalties. (Wells Horton photo)

May the eastern breezes bless you
Lift your spirits, make them fly
May the southern sun shine on you
Warm your heart and help you try

May the western waters cleanse you
Washing over all you feel
Northern earth be yours to stand in
Ground you so you know what’s real

Over all be strength and beauty
Food and friends, and music fine
Work you love and pleasant duty
Love to make your spirit shine

All of these I wish upon you
Multiply them three times three
Draw a circle all around you
And forever blessed be

All of these I wish upon you
Multiply them three times three
Draw a circle all around you
And forever blessed be
