Count Your Blessings - The Martins - Lyrics


He had family, friends, and money
loved the Lord with all his heart.
So the devil went to God and said 
old Job would fall apart.
If you should take away his fortune,
let me put him to the test.
Soon poor Job had lost his health,
and wealth and all the rest.
And as his troubles added up,
he fell down on his knees
and said Lord I've still got one thing,
and that's your love for me.


You've got to count your blessings

you'll find one if you try.
Count on the Lord and watch that blessing multiply
Those might have, could have, should have been 
are nothing but distressing.
When your down and out its time to count your blessings


You may go through hard times when you fall upon despair

Just remember your surrounded by his blessings everywhere
Its a neighbors helping hand or in the sunshine of a smile
One blessing leads to one more, you'll be counting for a while
Its best to look at what you have, forget what you have not
And just learn a lesson from old Job give thanks for what you've got


You've got to count your blessings

you'll find one if you try.
Count on the Lord and watch that blessing multiply
Those might have, could have, should have been 
are nothing but distressing.
When your down and out its time to count your blessings


One risen savior, one perfect love

One holy promise, one is enough


You've got to count your blessings

you'll find one if you try.
Count on the Lord and watch that blessing multiply
Those might have, could have, should have been
are nothing but distressing.
When your down and out its time to count your blessings


Count your blessings

Name them one by one
Count your blessings
