He had family friends and money, loved the lord with all his heart
So the devil went to God and said ole Job would fall apart
If you would take away his fortune, let me put him to the test
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 still got one thing, and that's your love for me
You got to count your blessing, you'll find one if you try
Count on the lord and watch that blessing multiply
All those might have, could have, should have beens, are nothing but distressing
When you're down and out, its time to count your blessing
You might go through hard times, when you fall into despair
Remember you're surrounded by his blessings everywhere
It's in a neighbors helping hand, or in 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
And just learn a lesson from ole Job and give thanks for what you got
You got to count your blessing, you'll find one if you try
Count on the Lord and watch that blessing multiply
Those might have, could have, should have beens, are nothing but distressing
When you're down and out, its time to count your blessing
One risen savior, one perfect love, one holy promise, one is enough
You got to count your blessing, you'll find one if you try
Count on the lord and watch that blessing multiply
All those might have, could have, should have beens, are nothing but distressing
When you're down and out, its time to count your blessing
Count your blessing, count your blessing name them one by one, Count your blessing
