My blessings are so many, My troubles are so few, How can I feel discouraged When I know that I have You. And I have the sweet assurance That I'll never stand alone If I but keep remembering I am yours and yours alone ... So, in this world of trouble With darkness all around, Take my hand and lead me Until I stand on higher ground. For anything and everything Can somehow be endured If Your presence is beside me And lovingly assured! Each day there are showers of blessings Sent from the Father above, For God is a great lavish giver And there is no end to His love. His grace is more than sufficient, His mercy is boundless and deep, And His infinite blessings are countless And all this we're given to keep If we but seek God and find Him And ask for a bounteous measure Of this wholly immeasurable offering From God's inexhaustible treasure. For no matter how big man's dreams are, God's blessings are infinitely more, For always God's giving is greater Than what man is asking for. The good green earth beneath our feet, The air we breathe, the food we eat, Some work to do, a goal to win, A hidden longing deep within That spurs us on to bigger things And help us meet what each day brings, All these things and many more Are things we should be thankful for ... And most of all our thankful prayers Should rise to God because He cares. |
