Everybody say blessed, say blessed, say blessed
Blessed, blessed
Blessed, blessed
Blessed, blessed
Since though hast walked uprightly, as a light in a dark land
Since though hast placed in thine heart, all the Lord's commands
He's set thee above nations and cast thine enemies away
He's standing up within thee, so let me hear you say
We're blessed in the city
We're blessed in the field
We're blessed when we come and when we go
We cast down every stronghold
Sickness and poverty must cease
For the Devil is defeated
We are blessed
Though believenth in God only and put no confidence in man
Everything that does concern thee, you placed it in His hands
Though a host rise up against thee to try and spoil the day
They'll rush in one road to harm thee but they'll flee in seven ways
We're blessed in the city
We're blessed in the field
We're blessed when we come and when we go
We cast down every stronghold
Sickness and poverty must cease
For the Devil is defeated
We are blessed
We know that God's word is clothed in truth and righteousness
We are his children and with our hearts we do confess
We're blessed in the city
We're blessed in the field
We're blessed when we come and when we go
We cast down every stronghold
Sickness and poverty must cease
Right now the Devil is defeated, say
We're blessed, we're blessed
We're blessed in the city
We're blessed in the field
We're blessed when we come and when we go
We cast down every stronghold
Sickness and poverty must cease
For the Devil is defeated
We are blessed
We're blessed in the city
We're blessed in the field
We're blessed when we come and when we go
We cast down every stronghold
Sickness and poverty must cease
For the Devil is defeated
We are blessed
We're blessed in the city
We're blessed in the field
We're blessed when we come and when we go
We cast down every stronghold
Sickness and poverty must cease
For the Devil is defeated
We are blessed
Everybody say
Blessed, blessed
Blessed, blessed
Blessed, blessed
Late in the midnight hour, God's gonna turn it around
It's gonna work in your favor, just you wait, now
Wave your hands in the air and wave it like you just don? t care
If you gonna be [Incomprehensible] anyhow somebody say
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Late in the midnight hour, God's gonna turn it around
It's gonna work in your favor, say
Late in the midnight hour, God's gonna turn it around
And around and around and around and around
Late in the midnight hour, God's gonna turn it around
It's gonna work in your favor
Late in the midnight hour, God's gonna turn it around
And around and around and around and around
Late in the midnight hour, God's gonna turn it around
It's gonna work in your favor
Late in the midnight hour, God's gonna turn it around
And around and around and around and around
And around and around and around and around
And around and around
About This Song
"We're Blessed" is a jubilant gospel anthem that celebrates God's abundant favor and protection over believers' lives, drawing inspiration from biblical promises of blessing found in Deuteronomy. Fred Hammond's powerful vocals lead congregational-style call-and-response sections that create an atmosphere of collective worship and testimony, with the repetitive "blessed" declarations serving as both affirmation and praise. The song's traditional gospel arrangement features rich harmonies, organ, and a driving rhythm that builds momentum as it catalogs specific areas of divine blessing-from city to field, coming and going. Hammond transforms ancient scriptural language into accessible contemporary worship, making it a cornerstone of modern gospel music that emphasizes gratitude, faith, and the tangible ways believers experience God's goodness in everyday life. The track's infectious energy and participatory nature made it a staple in churches nationwide, embodying the celebratory spirit of African-American gospel tradition.
