lyrics

Count my blessings

Verse 1
If this was the last song that was mine to write
If all of my words had now fallen from sight
I'd want to write words & a sweet melody
That would bring to my mind all the blessings I ve seen

Verse 2
First would be family that gave me a home
And I don t mean just buildings of wood brick & stone
And a mother & father who did what they could
Alone in this strange land they struggled & stood

Chorus
Oh I, I can t count my blessings
They are more, more than all the days I ve seen
Oh I, I can t count my blessings
They outnumber all my days

Verse 3
The next thing I d see is a young girl who danced
As we joined hands & walked & we swooned & romanced
Now we step through the days that are ours to behold
We understand grace in the depths of our souls

Verse 4
Coz first there was one child & then there were four
And the joy that they bring is the joy I adore
We ve watched as they grew since their moment of birth
We ve seen in their faces some heaven on earth

Chorus
Oh I, I can t count my blessings
They are more, more than all the days I ve seen
Oh I, I can t count my blessings
They outnumber al l my da ys

Verse 5
So now I am older & wiser for sure
Though wisdom that s gained leaves you wanting for more
I'm grateful for all of this life that I've lived
For what I've received & had fortune to give

Verse 6
So if these were the last words these hands were to write
And no other words would remain from my life
The heart of the Father revealed in the son
Is all I will thank til my days are all done

Chorus
Oh I, I can t count my blessings
They are more, more than all the days I ve seen
Oh I, I can t count my blessings
They outnumber all my days
They outnumber all my days
They are surely more than all my days (Riff and out)
