So Many Blessings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sitting within the still of night,

My thoughts rise up to You.

I count the blessings in my life,

The long lost and the new.

 

So many blessings I have known,

So many still to be,

And I am overwhelmed to think

That You’d give them to me.

 

A place of peace to call my home,

And food enough to eat,

Such blessings were beyond my dreams

Back when ends didn’t meet.

 

With work that offers challenges

To keep me on my toes,

I’m blessed to earn enough to live

With joy, which I hope shows.

 

The family and the friends I love,

Who seem to love me, too.

What blessings they have been to me

In all they’ve seen me through.  

 

The simple daily miracles

That I see without thought

Are more precious than anything

That my money has bought.

 

So many blessings, beyond count,

And each beyond my due,

That I wanted to take some time

To lift my thanks to You.
