Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

"Count your Blessings" has always been a best-loved thanksgiving song. It was written by Johnson Oatman, Jr., and composed by Edwin Excell who created the tune for the hymn.

Yesterday I was talking about sleep positions, I thought I would share with you if you have a hard time falling asleep; "Count Your Blessings" and you will start to relax and fall asleep, it worked for me last night, this helps you to see you do have a lot to be thankful for.

This maybe a great Thanksgiving song, but I'm using this song during Christmas 2009, when money is tight, and there is so much on my mind lately, about my adult children, and my weight. This song is PERFECT to remember all the wonderful things I must be happy about. Happy, Happy, Smile, Smile, Joy, Joy, Peace, Peace.

When upon life's billows you are tempest tosed, 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.

CHORUS
Count your blessings name them on 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.

I love verse 2:

Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

Verse 3: When you look at others with their lands and gold, Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold.

Verse 4: So a mid the conflict, whether great or small, Do not be discouraged God is over all.

This song is a Christmas song, You know what God hath done? He gave us His son! He gave us Himself to us! The words above have displayed;
"What He Has Done"
