Lyrics
Chorus:
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord,
You've been blessing me;
when I look where You have brought me,
You sho' been blessing me, yeah.
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord,
You've been blessing me;
(I can tell the world),
tell the world I am blessed,
I am blessed.
Verse 1:
When I woke up early this morning (hallelujah),
I was clothed in my right mind (hallelujah);
when I looked all around me (hallelujah),
my family was doing fine (hallelujah).
I wanna thank Him for how He kept me,
thank Him He never left me;
I can tell the world,
(tell the world I am blessed,
I am blessed).
Verse 2:
I may not have a mansion (hallelujah),
but I've got a place to sleep (hallelujah);
I may not have a lot of money (hallelujah),
but thank God I got food to eat (hallelujah).
I wanna thank Him for how He kept me,
thank Him, He never left me;
I can tell the world,
(tell the world I am blessed,
I am blessed).
Vamp 1:
Let me hear you say, "I am blessed",
(I am blessed).
Vamp 2:
Let me hear you say, "hallelujah",
(hallelujah).
Vamp 3:
Let me hear you say, "thank you Jesus",
(thank you Jesus).
Ending:
(I can tell the world)
tell the world I am blessed,
I am blessed.

Meaning & Inspiration
In "I Am Blessed," Reed's Temple Choir frames blessing not as material abundance but as the everyday evidence of God’s care. Waking up clothed in a right mind and finding family well becomes a reason for gratitude. The second verse makes the point plainly: a place to sleep and food to eat are gifts worth acknowledging, even when money and mansions are absent. This echoes a scriptural pattern of thanking God for daily provision rather than accumulated wealth.
The repeated call to "tell the world" turns personal gratitude into testimony. The song’s vamps invite a congregation to say “I am blessed,” “hallelujah,” and “thank you Jesus,” grounding the reflection in worship. There is no pretense of a trouble-free life, only the recognition that God’s keeping presence has never left. The song holds together humility and confidence, letting the simple act of giving thanks become an announcement of faith.
