One of the greatest gifts God has allowed us is music. A lot of songs are grumbling lyrics but so many declare worship to our sovereign God. Repeating these songs can rewire our thoughts, helping us to remember who God wants us to be. How many times have I dreamed a bad dream or had a sleepless night when I dwell on my anxieties. On the other hand, when I’ve participated in worship at church, or listened to a series of worship songs on my own, I wake up with that tune or the lyrics in my thoughts. I can either number my complaints or count my blessings.
“If my heart is ever going to be freed of grumbling and ruled by gratitude, I need your grace: grace to remember, grace to see, grace that produces a heart of humble joy.” - Paul David Tripp, New Morning Mercies: A Daily Gospel Devotional
Counting My Blessings
Song by Seph Schlueter
It's like it was yesterday
I was a praying for a miracle
Scared to have a little hope
And now looking back today
Seeing all the things You've done
I can't even add them up
One, two, three
Up to infinity
I'd run out of numbers
Before I could thank You for everything
God, I'm still counting my blessings
All that You've done in my life
The more that I look in the details
The more of Your goodness I find
Father on this side of Heaven
I know that I'll run out of time
But I will keep counting my blessings
Knowing I can't count that high
And I know the seasons never lost forever
So God, I will remember
All of the reasons my heart has to be grateful
All the times You've been faithful to me
God, I'm still counting my blessings
All that You've done in my life
The more that I look in the details
The more of Your goodness I find
Father on this side of Heaven
I know that I'll run out of time
But I will keep counting my blessings
Knowing I can't count that high
Oh, I can't count that high
High
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
High
Oh, Your goodness, Your goodness
One, two, three
Up to infinity
I'd run out of numbers
Before I could thank You for everything
God, I'm still counting my blessings
All that You've done in my life
The more that I look in the details
The more of Your goodness I find
Father on this side of Heaven
I know that I'll run out of time
But I will keep counting my blessings
Knowing I can't count that high
I will keep counting my blessings
Knowing I can't count that high
