Lyrics
She clothes herself with strength
And smiles at tomorrow
The ashes of her sorrow
They sparkle in the sun
Shes only got today
So no trouble will she borrow
Shes hidden in the shadow of perfect love
To the measure you have suffered
I believe you will be honored
Im not the only one
Whos gonna rise and call you blessed
She tells a story
Of a love without an exit
Of her dreams all interrupted
Never feeling like a hero
She feels freedom to weep
And limp over to Jesus
With all the broken pieces
Its a limp I want to follow
To the measure youve believed
I believe you will receive
That tiny mustard seed is moving mountains
And Im not the only one
No, Im not the only one
We rise and call you blessed
We rise and call you blessed
We rise and call you blessed
We rise and call you blessed
She clothes herself with strength
And smiles at tomorrow
The ashes of her sorrow
They sparkle in the sun
Shes only got today
So no trouble will she borrow
Shes hidden in the shadow of perfect love

Meaning & Inspiration
“Call You Blessed” honors a woman whose strength is visible not in an absence of pain, but in faithful endurance through it. The opening description closely follows Proverbs 31, pairing strength with confidence about the future. Sorrow remains part of her story, yet its ashes shine in the light rather than defining her. The image of shelter beneath perfect love adds a quiet assurance that present trouble does not have final authority.
The song also treats weakness with dignity. This woman is free to weep and to approach Jesus with broken pieces, and her limp becomes an example worth following. Faith appears in the small but active image of a mustard seed moving mountains. The repeated declaration that others rise and call her blessed recognizes courage shaped by dependence on God rather than self-sufficiency. Together, these images offer a portrait of honor after suffering, hope amid interrupted dreams, and belief that receives grace even while wounds remain visible.
