Blessings Lyrics by NICKI MINAJ Ft Tasha Cobbs Leonard
[Intro]
Blessings, blessings, oh, blessings
On God, God, God
Woo
(Sad Pony) God, God, God (BNYX)
[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj]
There's a river that I go to and it heals me
Recently became a mama and it thrills me
Even when the water's rocky and it chills me
When he tells me to be still, somehow it stills me
[Refrain]
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
God, God, God
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ooh-ooh
God, God, God
[Chorus]
Blessings, blessings, oh, blessings
On God, God, God
Blessings, blessings, oh, blessings
On God, God, God
[Verse 2: Nicki Minaj]
I know I can really say I'm truly proud of you
And no matter what they say, I never doubted you
I completely understand what you gotta do
Do what you gotta do
There's a rivеr that I go to and it heals me
My cup runneth ovеr, it ain't ever empty
Mm, when I'm gettin' my own, I still have plenty
Stop beatin' up on yourself, handle it gently
[Chorus]
Blessings, blessings, oh, blessings
On God, God, God
Blessings, blessings, oh, blessings
On God, God, God
[Verse 3: Tasha Cobbs Leonard]
There's a river that I run to when I'm empty
It keeps flowing every mornin', grace and mercy
When I'm walkin' through the valley, I will not fear
I will never be convinced that He is not there, oh
Be courageous
He never changes
There's a father who is present, and He sees us
Make no mistake about it, His name is Jesus (Jesus)
[Chorus]
Blessings, blessings, oh, blessings
On God, God, God
Blessings, blessings, oh, blessings
On God, God, God (Ooh)
[Verse 4: Nicki Minaj, Tasha Cobbs Leonard]
When I was five, I got down on my knees and prayed to You
I found my reason, Your presence, I put my faith in You
I saw the blessings come down when I start praisin' You
You gave me spiritual gifts I was afraid to use
Ain't never leave me
Always receives me
That's why they can't get me
I know that He is always with me (God is always with me)
[Outro: Tasha Cobbs Leonard]
Blessings, blessings, oh, blessings (Every single day)
On God, God, God (He's always with me)
Blessings, blessings, oh, blessings (Every single day)
On God, God, God
God, God, God
God, God, God
