Count Your Many Blessings

Count the stars up in the sky 
Where the eyes of God doth lie. 
Count the many grains of sand 
Found throughout this wondrous land. 

Count the birds up in the air
Feathered friends are everywhere. 
Count the lakes and rivers too 
Found beneath a sky of blue.

Count the sunsets all aglow 
Where the lovely rainbows flow. 
Count the fireflies in the night 
Makes for quite a stunning site.

Count the waves upon the sea
Hear their splashing melody.
Count the snowflakes swirling down
Tumbling like a circus clown. 

Count the planets hung in space 
Each one in its proper place. 
Count the thunder in the storm 
Where the bolts of lightening form. 
Count your blessings one by one
Where the God’s promises are spun.
