Count Your Blessings

Always count your blessings
It sounds simple enough to do
But it's not always very easy
When you’re feeling down and 
blue
When life seems so uncertain
And you don't know what’s 
ahead
When the life you were happily 
living
Now is filling you with dread
Nothing stays the same forever
That’s one thing that’s always 
true
And just like in the past
These times you will get 
through
So in the meantime please 
remember
There are those who really care
And when you count your 
blessings
You'll find more than you think 
is there
Start with something simple
Like the stars up in the sky
And while you’re looking up
Count the moonlight in your eye
Count the wind upon your face
And the place you rest your 
head
And I pray for you tonight 
There will be better days ahead
