Bless Our Lives Today
Warm late-70s AOR ballad: gentle piano and chorused electric guitar set the tone, soft toms and bass ease in by the first chorus. Male vocals with subtle stacked harmonies, silky reverb. Verses intimate and close; chorus lifts with sustained organ pads and a soaring melodic hook. Key change in final chorus, tasteful guitar fills answering vocal lines, big yet tender outro fade., soulful, ballad, light

Lyrics
Verse 1
Morning breaks on a quiet room
Coffee steam and the daily news
All these little fragile things
We hold them like they’re always due
But I’ve seen how fast the ground can shake
How one call can change our names
So I turn this anxious heart
Into one simple prayer I say
Chorus
May God bless our lives today
Light our path along the way
Give us peace when we’re afraid
Calm the storm inside
Cover us with love so wide
Hands of mercy on our days
Now and always
Now and always
Verse 2
Late night drive on an empty road
Headlights on what I can’t control
Every mile a choice to trust
What I see and what I know
I remember every time I fell
Somehow grace was where I landed
So I lift my tired voice
On behalf of every heart here standing
Chorus
May God bless our lives today
Light our path along the way
Give us peace when we’re afraid
Calm the storm inside
Cover us with love so wide
Hands of mercy on our days
Now and always
Now and always
Bridge
For the ones who can’t stop crying (oh)
For the ones who smile and hide it
For the child who prays in whispers
For the old who think they’re forgotten
Let that promise hold us steady
Let that kindness never fade
Let this be the song You answer
Every moment
Every day
Chorus
May God bless our lives today
Light our path along the way
Give us peace when we’re afraid
Calm the storm inside
Cover us with love so wide
Hands of mercy on our days
Now and always
Now and always (yeah)
Now and always
