"MY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS"
by Jeff Leslie 5/4/03

There will be thousands of blessings
An angel once said in a dream
I thought to myself what a marvelous message
But what are these blessings unseen?

If I was a child I'd want laughter
And a field of soft clouds where I'd play
And I wouldn't mind, no, I wouldn't complain
If it could be Christmas each day

And then later I'd like a large diamond
With bases, a bat and a ball
And my team of angels would never be beaten
That's what I would like most of all

Now I'm grown with a love for sweet music
Perhaps Jesus will sing me a song
And I'd have the pleasure to pick my guitar
Instinctively playing along

Sometimes when I think of blessings
It's the bread God provides every day
Imagine the feast at the table of heaven
The bounty before us He'll lay

At this time my favorite blessings
Are my church and my wife and my son
And I just can't wait till we worship on high
'Til the time of eternity's done

The one thing I've learned about blessings
Surprised me when I first believed
But it has been proven now time and again
It's more blessed to give than receive

But what could Christ possibly give me
That He hasn't already before
What could He do more than die for my sin
To show I am truly adored

I hope that His heavenly blessings
Are gifts I can hold in my hand
That way I can feel them and see for myself
So easily I'll understand

Then whether there's one or a thousand
Whatever His blessings may be
The moment He gives them I'll lower my head
And lay them all down at His feet
