Count your Blessings

I song that is very familiar to all of us and a great reminder to count our blessings. I know that I have been VERY blessed and I am so thankful to God for giving me a home in Heaven, a fine family, food on my table, good friends, a nice home and MUCH more! Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!!

Count Your Blessings
by:  Johnson Oatman Jr.

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Chorus:

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!

 

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.

Chorus

 

When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings. Wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven, and your home on high.

Chorus

 

So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Chorus
