He had family, friends and money loved the Lord with all his heart The Devil went to God and said old Job would fall apart If you should take away his fortune, let me put him to the test And soon poor Job had lost his health and wealth and all the rest And as his troubles added up he fell down on his knees He said "Lord , I've still got one thing, and that's your love for me"
(Chorus) You've got to count your blessings, you'll find one if you try Count on the Lord and watch your blessings multiply Those might've, could've , should've beens are nothing but distressing When you're down and out it's time to count your blessings
You may go through hard times when you fall into despair Remember you're surrounded by his blessings everywhere In a neighbour's helping hand or the sunshine of a smile One blessing leads to one more, you'll be counting for a while It's best to look at what you have, forget what you have not Just learn a lesson from old Job and give thanks for what you've got
(Chorus) One Risen Saviour One Prefect Love One Holy Promise One is enough
