Lyrics
Chorus (Repeat x2)
Bless me, Lord, bless me;
Even me, Lord, bless me.
Verse
God is not like man;
He has more than one blessing.
He's omnipotent;
He has the power to bless you, and bless me.
So I'm encouraged
When I see what God has done for you,
For I am confident
That he soon will bless me too.
Chorus (Repeat x2)
Bridge (Repeat x3)
The blessing of the Lord be upon us;
The favor of the Lord be upon us.
What He blesses cannot be cursed;
No man can take my blessing from me.
Vamp (Repeat x2)
The blessing of the Lord be upon us.
I receive it...
It's mine...
The blessing of the Lord be upon us.
Ending
Bless me, Lord, bless me;
Even me, Lord, bless me.

Meaning & Inspiration
"Bless Me" opens with a direct, repeated plea, asking specifically to be blessed and adding even me, a phrase that echoes an ancient request not to be overlooked when blessing is given to others. That specific addition, even me, frames the entire song around personal inclusion rather than general blessing.
Its verse reasons from observed evidence, naming God's limitless capacity to bless and treating blessing already seen in someone else's life as grounds for confident expectation of the same. A bridge then declares that blessing permanent and protected, insisting that what God blesses cannot be cursed and that no one can take it away once given.
Rooted in contemporary gospel's declarative call-and-response style, the song functions as a confident, communal request for blessing and favor, its closing vamp repeating ownership of that blessing, I receive it, it's mine, as the song's final, settled claim rather than an ongoing request.
