Lyrics
Blessed are those who dwell in Your house
They are ever praising You
Blessed are those whose strength is in You
Whose hearts are set on our God
We will go from strength to strength
Until we see You face to face
Hear our prayer
Oh Lord, God almighty
Come bless our land
As we seek You
Worship You
For You are holy
For You are holy
For You are holy, Lord

Meaning & Inspiration
“Blessed” builds its message around the joy of living near God and relying on his strength. The opening words closely follow Psalm 84, describing as blessed those who dwell in God’s house, continually praise him, and find their strength in him. The movement “from strength to strength” gives the song a hopeful direction: worshippers continue toward the day when they will see God face to face.
The prayer in the middle of the song asks the Lord Almighty to hear and bring blessing as his people seek and worship him. Rather than treating blessing as comfort alone, the lyrics connect it with praise, dependence, prayer, and holiness. The repeated confession that the Lord is holy gives the ending a clear center and turns the song from petition back to adoration. In a children’s worship setting, its short lines and repetition make substantial biblical ideas memorable: God’s presence is home, God supplies strength, and those who seek him answer with praise.
