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 suprise you
What the Lord has done
You are tempest tossed
When you are discouraged,
Thinking all is lost
Count your many blessings,
Name them one by one
And it will suprise you
What the Lord has done
Count your blessings,
Name them one by one
Count your blessings,
See what God has done
Count your blessings,
Name them one by one
Count your many blessings,
See what God has done.
Are you ever burdened
With a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy
You are called to bear?
Count your many blessings,
Ev'ry doubt will fly
And you will be singing
As the days go by.
When you look at others
With their lands and gold
Think that Christ has promised
You His wealth untold
Count your many blessings,
Money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven,
Nor your home on high.
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.

I remember singing this song so often in church. It was one of my favorites, and even today, my younger children especially love this one, belting out, "Count your blessings, name them one by one...." :) What a great picture to put with this, too!
This is great! Counting blessings helps me to stay focused on God and all the amazing things he does for me. It's so easy to got bogged down and forget about how awesome he really is.
I found you because you commented on Trisha's blog-love her you will too I am sure. She is such a women of God you will be blessed by her blog. I signed up to follow you. Can't wait to read more. Count your blessings is one of my favorite hymns.
Look forward to getting to know you better.
