here are the lyrics and chords:
Oh blessed God (by Bronsink, Sharp)
B E A, B E A,
B E A B E A
the fresh spring of everything pouring from your words, “let there be…”
B E A B E A
the fleshed life of woman and man dancing in the dawn of eden
B C#m D E
A richness of plenty for all the earth a destiny
F# A B
your-voice walking with them your-song’s cultivating rhythm
(chorus)
E E/D
oh blessed god the saving one
E/C# B
lord, hear our cry to you
E E/D
your kingdom come your will be done
E/C# B
life pouring out of you
B E A, B E A
now we fall like trees for missing you
and miss the kiss when justice and peace meet too
along the hungry and the thirsty streets
we see you in the people we meet
our eyes are empty, our stomachs ‘full
how long, oh lord, ‘til your world’s made whole?
your-voice walking with them
our songs, so far from heaven
oh blessed god…
(bridge)
C#m C#m/C C#m/B A
Put a song in me like you people the streets of history
C#m C#m/C C#mB A
Turn me upside by the heart I find in each street I’m walking
C#m C#m/C C#m/B A
put clothes on shame teach us to sing forgive our sins ‘salvation ring
F#m B A
‘salvation ring
(chorus)
oh blessed god…
Great song man, keep 'em coming. I feel like I have writer's block lately, I think school and art are inversely related (unless you're in school for art, and it might still hold true then, actually) I hope things are going well for you. I still want to get together and play some music sometime, or at least grab a beer.

Great lyrics - I look forward to hearing you sing the song, hopefully sometime soon!

where's Christ's name in the song? This could be written by any Deist.
