• When aches and pains begin to creep,
  I thank the Lord my heart still leaps,
  And I fall asleep counting my blessings.
• When plans don’t work out like I planned,
  I think of all that’s still at hand,
  And I fall asleep counting my blessings.
• When friends grow old and time goes fast,
  I smile at all the years I’ve passed,
  And I fall asleep counting my blessings.
• When worries knock upon my door,
  I think about the love I’ve stored,
  And I fall asleep counting my blessings.
• When tomorrow seems a little dim,
  I count the times He’s carried me,
  And I fall asleep counting my blessings.

When my back is sore and my feet both ache,
I thank God for every step I still take,
And I fall asleep counting my blessings.

When I’m worried and I can’t sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep counting my blessings

When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep counting my blessings
