When
I
wake
up
to
the
morning
light,
and
know
with
the
Lord
everything's
alright...
I'M
BLESSED!
When
I
have
hot
water
for
my
shower,
and
flick
the
switch
and
there
is
power...
I'M
BLESSED!
When
the
heat
comes
on
to
warm
my
skin,
and
there's
peace
and
contentment
abiding
within...
I'M
BLESSED!
When
I
have
plenty
of
time
to
meditate
and
pray
or
see
the
rainbow
before
it
fades
away...
I'M
BLESSED!
When
I
have
nourishment
to
drink
and
to
eat,
and
clothes
on
my
back
and
shoes
on
my
feet...
I'M
BLESSED!
When
my
mate
tells
me
that
I
am
loved,
and
I
send
thanks
to
God's
in
His
heaven
above...
I'M
BLESSED!
When
I
have
enough
money
for
my
bills
to
pay,
and
from
the
doctor's
office
I
could
stay
away...
I'M
BLESSED!
When
a
son
or
daughter
runs
to
my
side,
with
a
happy
expression
and
arms
open
wide...
I'M
BLESSED!
When
the
dishes
are
done
and
the
night
descends,
and
there's
no
one
to
whom
I
must
make
amends...
I'M
BLESSED!
And
even
when
the
day
starts
out
wrong
with
heavy
heart
and
no
joyful
song...
I'M
STILL
BLESSED!
And
when
my
body
fights
against
aches
and
pains,
and
there's
only
storm
clouds
bringing
more
rain...
I'M
STILL
BLESSED!
When
the
road
of
life
gets
rocky
and
steep,
and
my
feet
slip
and
slide
'til
I
fall
and
weep...
I'M
STILL
BLESSED!
When
the
night
turns
cold
and
the
fire
goes
out,
and
the
enemy
tries
to
get
me
to
doubt...
I'M
STILL
BLESSED!
When
death
and
sorrow
have
taken
their
toll
and
I
need
comfort
way
down
in
my
soul...
I'M
STILL
BLESSED!
How
do
I
know?
Because
these
are
the
times
when
God's
nearest
to
me,
when
I
put
aside
pride
and
from
temptation
flee.
When
the
peace
of
His
presence
fills
me
inside,
and
He
wipes
away
all
of
the
tears
I
have
cried.
When
I
know
in
my
heart
without
fear
or
doubt
that
God
will
restore
my
joy
and
my
shout...
I'M
STILL
BLESSED!
