COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

INTRO: C G – G C

VERSE 1

C                                                         G                               

When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed,

G                                                                C

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,

C                                                                      G              

Count your many blessings, name them one by one,

G                                                                           C

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

 

CHORUS

C                                                           G           

Count your blessings, name them one by one,

G                                                      C

Count your blessings, see what God hath done!

C                   F                G          

Count your blessings, name them one by one,

C                              F                                 G               C

Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

 

 

VERSE 2

C                                                    G

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

G                                                              C

Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

C                                                            G

Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,

G                                                                      C

And you will keep singing as the days go by.

 

VERSE 3

C                                                              G

When you look at others with their lands and gold,

G                                                                   C

Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;

C                                                             G

Count your many blessings-money cannot buy

G                                                                          C

Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

 

VERSE 4

C                                                    G

So, amid the conflict whether great or small,

G                                                     C

Do not be discouraged, God is over all;

C                                                             G

Count your many blessings, angels will attend,

G                                                                             C

Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.
