When I wake up to the morning light,
and know with the Lord everything's alright...
I'M BLESSED!

When I have hot water for my shower,
and flick the switch and there is power...
I'M BLESSED!

When the heat comes on to warm my skin,
and there's peace and contentment abiding within...
I'M BLESSED!

When I have plenty of time to meditate and pray
or see the rainbow before it fades away...
I'M BLESSED!

When I have nourishment to drink and to eat,
and clothes on my back and shoes on my feet...
I'M BLESSED!

When my mate tells me that I am loved,
and I send thanks to God's in His heaven above...
I'M BLESSED!

When I have enough money for my bills to pay,
and from the doctor's office I could stay away...
I'M BLESSED!

When a son or daughter runs to my side,
with a happy expression and arms open wide...
I'M BLESSED!

When the dishes are done and the night descends,
and there's no one to whom I must make amends...
I'M BLESSED!

And even when the day starts out wrong,
with heavy heart and no joyful song...
I'M BLESSED!

And when my body fights against aches and pains,
and there's only storm clouds bringing more rain...
I'M BLESSED!

When the road of life gets rocky and steep,
and my feet slip and slide 'til I fall and weep...
I'M STILL BLESSED!

When the night turns cold and the fire goes out,
and the enemy tries to get me to doubt...
I'M STILL BLESSED!

When death and sorrow have taken their toll
and I need comfort way down in my soul...
I'M STILL BLESSED!

How do I know?

Because these are the times when God's nearest to me,
when I put aside pride and from temptation flee.

When the peace of His presence fills me inside,
and He wipes away all of the tears I have cried.

When I know in my heart without fear or doubt
that God will restore my joy and my shout...
I'M STILL BLESSED
