Counting Our Blessings

One by one, we count our blessings
Big and small, wonders they bring
We remember the songs that we sing
in cold winter and awesome spring

For peace that grants sweet sleep
For work where we sow and reap
For security that we inwardly keep
Even for days when we secretly weep

For inspiration that spur and stir
For prayers that He always hear
For daily bread that blissfully fill
Even for clothes in this freezing chill

For caring friends who enrich our lives
For good health that sustains and energize
For vision that makes us kicking and alive
Even for the rocky road and bumpy ride

For a baby that is breathing and growing
For families that give a sense of belonging
For still waters and times of refreshing
Even for fiery purging, waiting and trembling

For a glimmer of hope of what is to come
For faithfulness and compelling love from the Son
Today we count our blessings, one by one
Big and small, the wonders of what God has done
