words and music by Rob Biagi ©2010 Rob Biagi/BMI

everyone i see will get a smile from me today
and everywhere i go – people will see me and know (they’ll say…)
wow! that kid is alive! – there’s some kind of joy in their eyes
will they know what it is? i can offer them this, “hey – God bless you in your life.”

i wish a blessing on you, and on you, and on you…i do
i wish a blessing on you, and on you, and on you…it’s true!

oh Lord let everything i do bring glory and joy to You today
help everyone i meet to see You alive in me, oh yeah
away i fly – into a world that needs Light
they don’t know Jesus lives – that He was and He is the way, the truth, the life

i wish a blessing on you, and on you, and on you…i do!
i wish a blessing on you, and on you, and on you…it’s true!

take it all in – God is real, He’s close by, if you only knew
take it all in – feel His peace, feel His love washing over you…

i wish a blessing on you and on you, and on you

i wish a blessing on you, and on you, and on you…i do
i wish you joy in your family and peace in your home
i wish a blessing on you, and on you, and on you…it’s true!
for God is good – only good, and his ways are higher

KEY LYRIC: "oh Lord let everything i do bring glory and joy to You today. help everyone i meet to see You alive in me…they don’t know Jesus lives – that He was and He is the way, the truth, the life…"

LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Rob is a very big fan of the “boy band” production sound and songwriting. Too bad the lyrics of those songs don’t typically say much. The melodies, songwriting, and production are wonderful!
