Count the stars up in the sky

       Where the eyes of God doth lie.      

                   Count the many grains of sand                   

    Found throughout this wondrous land.   

 

Count the birds up in the air

   Feathered friends are everywhere.   

              Count the lakes and rivers too               

Found beneath a sky of blue.

 

                        Count the sunsets all aglow                         

         Where the lovely rainbows flow.        

Count the fireflies in the night

Makes for quite a stunning site.

 

Count the waves upon the sea

Hear their splashing melody.

Count the snowflakes swirling down

                                       Tumbling like a circus clown.                          

 

Count the planets hung in space   

               Each one in its proper place.                  

        Count the thunder in the storm           

  Where the bolts of lightening form.   

 

Count your blessings one by one

Where the God's promises are spun.
