Text: Reb Meir, Talmud Brachot 17a Lyrics: CHORUS: 100 blessings Every Day In 24 hours 100 reasons to say Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech HaOlam We’ll say blessings upon waking, eyes open, getting dressed Going to the bathroom, giving me my breath We’ll say blessings saying thank you for giving us everything we need Make 100 blessings each day, a blessed life you will lead CHORUS We’ll say blessings when we do Mitzvot God commands For wisdom that God grants us to deal with life’s demands We’ll say blessings learning Torah, the lessons make us strong Say thanks to God for giving us the words that make this song CHORUS When we’ve said 100 blessings, it has been a blessed day I’ll say the Sh’ma, its time for bed, gratefully I lay We’ll make more blessings tomorrow, open my eyes and start again And when you make a blessing I like then I’ll say “Amen!” CHORUS.......
