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.

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.

It is a good practice to have God's blessings, favours and faithfulness to you documented with dates. They are your trophies when you feel discouraged, tempted , depressed or burdened. I was pleasantly surprised today, to see what I had written down a year ago. They were many!!! The truth is that I had either forgotten many of those things OR I had taken them for granted. PLEASE ALWAYS DOCUMENT THEM. Like David presented his trophies to Saul (1 Sam. 17:34-37). They are your trophies!!!!
