"I Am Blessed" is a song by Eternal written by pop hit songwriter Mark Mueller and Marsha Malamet. It was the second single from the 2 x platinum hit album Power of a Woman and peaked at #7 on the UK Singles Chart.

The inspirational pop ballad spent a total of 12 weeks on the UK singles chart in 1995-1996, with 3 weeks in the Top 10 and 7 weeks in the Top 20. It was certified silver by the BPI for sales over 200,000 copies in the UK. It also reached #7 in Ireland, becoming the group's first Top 10 hit in that country.

Eternal performed "I Am Blessed" for Pope John Paul II at the Vatican in 1995. The overall strength of the lead vocal is such that it is often compared to Whitney Houston's gospel performances.
