"I Am Blessed" is a single by Eternal. It was the second single released from Power of a Woman. The single was released just after the girl group had scored their third #1 hit in Japan with "Who Are You". The single did very well and peaked at #7, spent 12 weeks in the UK Singles Chart and was certified silver by the BPI for sales over 200k within the U.K. The overall vocal strength is such that it is often compared to Whitney Houston's gospel songs.[1]

I Am Blessed
by: John P. KeeVerse 1:
I am blessed in spite of all I go through
I stand on Your promises for I know they are true
Come what will or may, I am bigger than any test
And sin won't overtake me for I am blessed
Verse 2:
I was made in the image of God
There is nothing impossible, there is nothing too hard
I was predistined to receive my God's best
The violent storm won't overtake me for I am blessed
Bridge:
Blessed in spite of all of my fears
My faith cometh by what I hear
His abundant blessing I shall receive nothing less
And fear won't overtake me for I am blessed
Verse 3:
I place all my faith in Your word I do, Lord I will trust
Your word said You're not slack, no
In the thing You promised us
My harvest shall come down, I have received, I must confess
Sin won't overtake me
The violent storm, no it won't shake me
