Norman Hutchins, God’s Got a Blessing | Music Lifts

In the 19^th edition of Music Lifts (2026), we’re uplifted by Norman Hutchins performing, “God’s Got a Blessing (with My Name on It!).”

Welcome to Music Lifts, featuring songs that encourage, inspire, and uplift the spirit; songs that exude fortitude, positivity, and resolve, even in the face of adversity.  Featured songs aren’t genre-specific; songs may or may not be faith-based. The goal is for these songs to make you feel better – be LIFTED to new heights!  So, for the 19^th edition of Music Lifts (2026), we highlight “God’s Got a Blessing (with My Name on It!)” as performed by Norman Hutchins.

Amen! Hallelujah! The late, great Norman Hutchins (1962 – 2025) recorded a surefire, gospel music gem with “God’s Got a Blessing (with My Name on It!)”. This is one of Hutchin’s best-known songs, appearing as the fifth track from his 2002 album, Nobody but You. As the song turns 25, its positive, uplifting message endures. How does one obtain this blessing? Keeping the faith and believing that God will come through!

“God’s Got a Blessing (with My Name on It!)” sounds exuberant from the get-go.  This is what gospel music should sound like.  The praise band is locked in: keys, organ, guitar, bass, and drums.  Beyond the bright, inspired instrumental, the singing is anointed – filled with joy and jubilance.  Sure, there is adversity, but the end to those troubles is in sight! “It makes no difference what you’re going through / You’re going to make it, God’s gonna see you through,” Hutchins sings soulfully in the first verse, and adds, “This is another test, it won’t last always.” True that! The second verse is similar, where he adds, “Troubles and trials come to make you strong / Keep on believing, you keep holding on.” Woo! Backed by an anointed choir, Norman encourages us to be on the lookout for our blessing – it has our name on it! After the second chorus, Hutchins and company vamp, keeping the faith and not giving up! As an old gospel hymn says so eloquently, “There is No Failure in God”.  We all need to believe that “God’s Got a Blessing (with My Name on It!)”.
