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 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;
Count your many blessings, see what God 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, ev'ry doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by. [Refrain]
LET IT RISE
Let the glory of the Lord rise among us.
Let the glory of the Lord rise among us.
Let the praises of our King rise among us.
Let it rise.
Oh, let it rise!
Oh, let it rise!
Let the power of the Lord . . .
Let the songs of the Lord . . .
Let the shouts of the Lord . . .
GIVE THANKS WITH A GRATEFUL HEART
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ,
His Son
And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich”
Because of what the Lord has done for us
And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich”
Because of what the Lord has done for us
Give thanks
WHEN I REMEMBER WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE
When I remember what the Lord has done
I will never go back anymore
When I remember what the Lord has done
I will never go back anymore
Looking back over my life
And I see how far God's brought me
So I'll never go back anymore!
I've been discouraged along the way
But He's been faithful
So I'll never go back anymore
When I remember what the Lord has done
I will never go back anymore
When I remember what the Lord has done
I will never go back anymore
No no no, no no no
I will never go back anymore
No, no no, no no no
I will never go back anymore
