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.
Refrain:     
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.

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. (Refrain)

​When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings. Wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high. (Refrain)

Count Your Blessings 

Psalm 34
1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 

2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof,

and be glad. ​3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time, (During Verse 1) make remarks about counting our blessings. It is good to stop and reflect on the wonderful things that God has done in our lives. We should make these blessings known to all who will listen. Tell of the goodness of the Lord.
2. As the song continues (During Verses 2 - 3) read Psalm 34:1-8, 16-22. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing all verses together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.​
