Counting Our Blessings

Counting Our Blessings

Saturday, December 25, 2010

I have decided to change our blog. We have documented our adoption Journey to Hannah over the last two years over at www.youbelong.net/lietzau and now I wanted to document our daily lives focusing on the many ways the Lord continues to bless us. I don't ever want to forget or miss the ways he is working in our lives. So if you don't mind a little rambling and some misspelled words follow along and count your blessings with us.

Count Your Blessings

When upon life's billows
You are tempest tossed
When you are discouraged,
Thinking all is lost
Count your many blessings,
Name them one by one
And it will surprise you
What the Lord has done.

Chorus:
Count your blessings,
Name them one by one
Count your blessings,
See what God has done
Count your blessings,
Name them one by one
Count your many blessings,
See what God has done.

Are you ever burdened
With a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy
You are called to bear?
Count your many blessings,
Ev'ry doubt will fly
And you will be singing

When you look at others
With their lands and gold
Think that Christ has promised
You His wealth untold
Count your many blessings,
Money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven,
Nor your home on high.

So, amid the conflict,
Whether great or small
Do not be discouraged,
God is over all
Count your many blessings,
Angels will attend
Help and comfort give you
To your journey's end.
