Transforming humble hearts to true servanthood.
(by Jasper Tan) “Blessed” by Lucy Shores Madeleines (featuring Amy) is an English adaptation of a Japanese song of the same name that features heartfelt lyrics and a devotional. The song blends their contemporary gospel influences and brings a message of universal compassion and humility.
The song serves as a meditative prayer that focuses on themes of God’s guidance, our human fragility, and the call to care for all things living in this world. The lyrics are a good devotional that is filled with gratitude and expresses a deep commitment to our Christian faith. The song encourages us to make our devotion a daily practice (0:18–0:31, 2:35–2:47), our offering to God the Father.
The song also acknowledges our imperfection and fragility, anchoring on these themes as the emotional pillar of the song. It is the acknowledgement of our weaknesses as human beings and our need for guidance that brings forth a genuine longing to be blessed with “strength and capability” (2:03–2:07, 4:17–4:24) from God. By surrendering ourselves to God, the song reminds us that true power resides in God alone and that we must seek him out with humble hearts. This includes taking a more caring approach to every living being here on Earth (1:51–1:55, 4:07–4:12), whether they be large or small life forms.
As the song heads towards the end, it encourages us to become servants of God, to dedicate our lives to sharing God’s love and good news with others. This perfectly encapsulates our growth as Christians. “Bless my imperfection and my fragility.” From someone who has acknowledged our shortcomings, to becoming God’s helping hands in ensuring that we can touch others’ lives and bring them closer to God.

Background:
"Blessing" is a Christian song I wrote for God the Father. It is a song of praise to all living things in the universe, and I wrote it thinking that it might also be for me, a weak human being.
We human beings are all very weak creatures. That is why we cling to God the Father. We follow God's will, study God's Word, and try to conform to God's will. God is very merciful, so He always loves us human beings. God is very forgiving and quick to forgive our past sins. God is always merciful, so we should live up to His expectations.
We must never forget that what God the Father wants most is for us to repent. Our merciful God the Father is always listening to our voices and smiling at us. We must not forget and ignore this God’s holy plan.
