Blessed Beyond Measure

Written 05/08/2026  for Gospel song contest Lyric form only sponsored by Regina Mcintosh


Praise His Faithfulness 
Joy in my hands
Love that holds me close
Daily provision, daily blessings
Guardian angels surrounding me
Under the shelter of His care 
Tonight I feel it deep in me
Peaceful and full of joy right here

 Blessed beyond measure 
Blessed  beyond measure
Father heart of God
I am free to be me

Blessed beyond measure
Blessed beyond measure
Peaceful and full of joy
I lift my praise to Thee

He is my refuge
 My safe hiding place
Psalm ninety-one over me
Grace for everyday
He covers my going out
He covers my coming in
His kindness leads me home
Again and again
Guardian angels surrounding me
Under the shelter of His care
Tonight I feel it deep in me
Peaceful and full of joy right here

Blessed beyond measure
Blessed beyond measure
Father heart of God
I am free to be me

Blessed beyond measure
Blessed beyond measure
Peaceful and full of joy
I lift my praise to Thee

Room for the prayer I carry
Room for my quiet need
Hold me in your mercy
Teach my heart to sing
Blessed beyond measure 
Blessed beyond measure
Father heart of God
I am free to be me
Blessed beyond measure 
Blessed beyond measure 
Tonight I’m held in peace
And full of joy in Thee

Such a heartfelt and lovely hymn written from the fullness of joy and contentment. "Hold me in your mercy Teach my heart to sing" This is a prayer that rises from my heart everyday, in the joys and tribulations of my life. "He covers my going out He covers my coming in His kindness leads me home"-- 🔥This is how I feel everyday. Let us stay in His mercy. 🙏Beautifully penned. Congratulations on your win, dear Dorothy. 👏

To feel so blessed after what you’ve exposed about your past is a lesson we should all take to heart. Dotti, you are a gem of a woman and a loving and loyal friend. 🌷❤️

Aren't all of us blessed beyond measure just in the fact that God made a way and Jesus was willing to pay. I enjoyed reading this one today, Dorothy. Way to go for the contest. 👏✍️ Sara K.
