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.

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.

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.

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

My 17 yr old grandson died in a car accident in August of 2012. Two weeks after the accident I started humming this song. The odd thing about it was my daughter was humming the song at the same time even though we live 20 miles from each other. God is still good and still continues to Bless us even though we lost one of the most precious person in this life. We continue to count our Blessings. It helps us to get through each day.

This song came to my mind this morning, and it occurred to me that maybe the LORD had something to say to me through it. So I looked it up online to see all of the verses, not just the chorus running through my head, and also perhaps the back story. I was blessed by the words once again, and God's work in other people's lives seen in the comments.

This song encourages me to fight forward. As l am alone without siblings, life is difficult with me but when I turn back star naming my blessings one by one I see how good the Lord has been with me.

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!!!!
