Blessed Is He Who Fears He Lord

Blessed is the man who fears
 the Lord in all of his ways…
He will be blessed in everything 
he does all of his days.

He shall also eat of the 
labor of his hands…
His family shall be blessed 
throughout the lands.

His wife will be a fruitful vine
 close by his side…
The blessings from heaven 
shall open up wide.

His children will be like olive 
plants around the table.
In all that he does.  He knows 
God is more than able!

Yes.  Blessed is the man 
who fears the Lord!
Goodness and mercy in his
 life shall be stored.

The Lord God shall bless 
him out of Zion.
Behold!  The glory of God
in him is shiinin!

He shall see the children his 
children shall bear…
And shall see the blessings
 of God everywhere!

Peace shall be his in all
 he does endeavor…
For the God of Israel shall 
be with him forever!
