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.
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.
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord 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 be singing as the days go by.
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

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 Lord on high.
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold.
Count your many blessings, money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your Lord 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.
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.

In the church the Rv Simon topic was to count your blessings and name them one by one, in first Chronicles 29 where King David thought about where he was coming from to the point of been a king and said for all this blessings from God that I have seen I will build a temple where souls will be win for heaven.

Last night, I went to bed with so great a burden in my heart and numberless complaints. But throughout the hours I slept, the Lord repeatedly said to me in still, clear accent: "David, count your blessings and name them one by one. It'd amaze you what great deeds I've done." Then I knew God was whispering His sweet peace to my soul. I woke up, opened this page immediately and sang through the lines rapturously. Believe me, all the cares and anxieties have evaporated. Hallelujah!
