Gaither Vocal Band - Greatly Blessed, Highly Favored Lyrics

“Greatly Blessed, Highly Favored” celebrates the identity of a forgiven child of God. Its central refrain holds humility and confidence together: human imperfection is acknowledged, yet forgiveness and belonging are declared with assurance. The verse answers that grace with gratitude, counting God’s works while standing firm in faith.

The line about fighting the good fight closely echoes 1 Timothy 6:12, where faithfulness is described as a worthy struggle. Its “blessed assurance” and confidence that the battle is won also connect with 1 Corinthians 15:57, which gives thanks to God for victory through Jesus Christ. First John 3:1 provides a fitting foundation for the repeated claim of being God’s child, emphasizing the Father’s love and the identity He gives. Through a compact refrain and a single reflective verse, the song presents blessing not as perfection or ease, but as forgiveness, steadfast faith, gratitude, and secure belonging to God.
