I got a special email last night, and this song reminded me of that email! Thank you, Jonathan! Plus, I have been receiving email after email for the sheet music for this song, so I thought that I would repost the lyrics. I love this song...the words mean so much!

I Have Been Blessed
by Michael Compton
When He moves among us—all that He does,
All of His mercy—all of His love,
If the pen of a writer, could write everyday—
Even this world could never contain—How I’ve been blessed.
Warmth in a winter—Flowers in spring.
Laughter of summer, the changing of leaves,
Food on my table, and a good place to sleep
Clothes on my back and shoes on my feet
I have been blessed.
Arms that will raise—a voice that can talk,
Hands that can touch, legs that can walk,
Ears that can listen—eyes that can see
I’ve got to praise Him as long as I breathe
I have been blessed
A mother and father—nurtured and raised
Sisters and brothers—memories made
Our pastor to lead us—this altar to pray
Stripes that heal—the blood that still saves
I have been blessed.
We live in a country—the greatest on earth
Where the flag stands for freedom and what it is worth
She stands in a harbor—Miss Liberty calls
All have given some, but some gave it all
So we could blessed.
He’s my shoulder to lean on—when I am down
The Rock where He leads me when I’m overwhelmed
The place where He hides me under His wings—He’s not just a song
He’s the reason I sing—I have been blessed.
Chorus:
I have been blessed, God’s so good to me
Precious are His thoughts of you and me
No way I can count them, There’s not enough time
So I’ll just thank Him for being so kind
God has been good, so good
I have been blessed.
God has been good
So good
I have been blessed.
We can truly say that we have been blessed! Like it says, if we could write everything down, if I could count them, I could never say enough of how God has been so good to us. All I can do is thank Him. Have you just taken today to just thank Him? Can you truly say that you have been blessed? Let's take this week just to praise the Lord for His kindness. God's Been Good.
