The Song Story

“Blessed Be” is a song of gratitude. It starts with a simple question, “Where would I be if it wasn’t for Jesus?” And the answer is humbling. Dead in my sin, buried in shame, swept away. But the song doesn’t stay there. It turns into wonder, that the God who made everything would know my name, would call me His friend, and cover me again and again. And then it just becomes praise, joining the saints and the angels, thanking Him for the battles that He’s won, for who He is and all He’s done.

It’s a song for remembering where He found you. That’s “Blessed Be.” “Blessed Be” the name of the Lord.

-Cory Asbury

About the Artist

Cory Asbury

Like so many before him, singer/songwriter Cory Asbury began singing in church at the ripe old age of 14, eventually becoming a full-time performer by the time he turned 21. His 2009 independent release, Let Me See Your Eyes, officially launched his recording career, leading to a contract with Bethel Music Collective in 2015. That alliance produced Asbury’s seminal album Reckless Love, a 2018 project that landed on the top of the Billboard Christian Albums chart, leading Asbury to two Dove Awards and a 2019 Grammy nomination. The title track spent 18 weeks at #1, earning Asbury Billboard, ASCAP, and BMI Christian Song of the Year honors. Currently, the title track has been certified Triple Platinum with over 3 million equivalent units. Later in 2019, Asbury released his follow up LP, To Love A Fool, featuring the single “The Father’s House,” which has now been certified Gold with more than 745,000 equivalent units. To date, Asbury has generated 952 million domestic U.S. streams, 130 million video views, 2.1 million monthly Spotify listeners, and 1.8 billion audience impressions. Cory lives in Middle Tennessee with his wife Anna and their four children, Gabriel, Lily, River, and Willow-Grace.

Blessed Be (Lyrics)

Blessed Be

Cory Asbury, Ran Jackson, Jesse Reeves, Sabin Flore, Rob Wood

 

Verse 1

Where would I be if it wasn’t for Jesus

dead in my sin and buried in shame

Where would I be if it wasn’t for Jesus

The waters would have swept me away

 

Chorus

Blessed be the name of the Lord

Blessed be His name forevermore

With the saints and angels we cry holy

Praise Him for the battles He has won

For who He is and all He’s done

As long as I have breath

I’m gonna sing

Blessed be

 

Verse 2

How could it be that the God of creation

Would know me by name and call me His friend

How could it be that He offers salvation

And covers me again and again

 

Bridge

I just want to thank You

I know that I would still be lost without You

Oh Jesus you’re the refuge that I run to
Your love has set this captive heart free

So Lord, blessed be
