Count the blessings of God's love Sweetie!
You may not be miss world
But he created you wonderfully and fearfully
There is always a lovely person who loves you
Surely count blessings in those who love you

Count the blessings of the health you have Sweetie!
You may not be an Olympic athlete
But you are alive to fulfill God's purpose on earth
You are always able to do something lovely for someone
Surely count blessings in the lovely things you do

Count the blessings of seeing today Sweetie!
The clouds may have covered your Sun for today
But you know that God has created the Sun to illuminate your path
You are breathing, eating and drinking God's creation
Surely count the blessings in the environment you see

Count the blessings of sleeping last night Sweetie!
The night might have been dark and scary
But you know that God put up the stars to twinkle for you
You woke up because the Angels watched over you
Surely count the blessings in waking up!
