Psalm 40:5 Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
My, how the Cross reveals God’s love for us! I am thankful.
Count the wonderful works God has done in your life. We are so blessed.
Actually, His blessings are more than we can count.
Count Your Blessings
_________________________
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 has done.
CHORUS:
Count your blessings, name them one by one, — Count your blessings, see what God has done! — Count your blessings, name them one by one, — *Count your many blessings, see what God has 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 keep 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 home 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.
Johnson Oatman, Jr. 1897
