I Have Been Blessed

I Have Been Blessed  C. T. Townsend

He walks among us, all that He does

All of His mercy and all of His love,

If the pen of the writer could write every day

Even this world could never contain

How I've been blessed.

 

The warmth in winter, the flowers in spring

The laughter in summer and the changing of leaves,

There's food on my table, a good place to sleep

Clothes on my back and shoes on my feet

I have been blessed.

 

          I have been blessed; God's so good to me

          Precious are His thoughts of you and me,

          No way I could count them; there's not enough time

          So I'll just thank Him for being so kind

          God has been good, so good

          I have been blessed.

 

Arms that can raise, a voice that can talk

Hands that can touch and legs that can walk,

Ears that can listen and eyes that can see

Oh, I've got to praise Him as long as I breathe

I have been blessed.

 

A father and mother who nurtured and raised

A brother and sister, memories made,

Our pastor to lead us, the altar to pray

Stripes that can heal and blood that can save

I have been blessed.

 

          I have been blessed; God's so good to me

          Precious are His thoughts of you and me,

          No way I could count them; there's not enough time

          So I'll just thank Him for being so kind

          God has been good, so good

          I have been blessed.

 

We live in a country--the greatest on earth

Our flag stands for freedom and what it is worth,

She stands in the harbor--Miss Liberty calls

All gave some, but some gave it all

For me to be blessed.

 

He's my shoulder to lean on when I am down

The rock where He leads me when I'm overwhelmed,

The place where He hides me under His wings

He's not just a song; He's the reason I sing

I have been blessed.

 

          I have been blessed; God's so good to me

          Precious are His thoughts of you and me,

          No way I could count them; there's not enough time

          So I'll just thank Him for being so kind

          God has been good, so good

          I have been blessed.

 

Hey, I have been blessed!

Have you been blessed?
