Count Your Blessings Lyrics And Chords By Ann Williamson

To play along with Ann Williamson use the guitar chords I have given. Count Your Blessings Sheet Music In D Major Is Also Included. There's a chord change in the middle of the song that's optional. The song was written by Johnson Oatman around 1897. The Galway Shawl song also got recorded by singer Ann Williamson.
The intro chords are, [A][C#m][D][Bm][E][D][C#m][E][A]

[A]When upon life's billows you are [E]tem[Bb]pest [E]tossed,
[C#m]When you [Bb]are dis[E]couraged, thinking [A]all [Bm]is [A]lost,

Count your many blessings, name them [E]one [Bb]by [Bm]one,
[E]And it [E]will sur[E]prise you what the [A]Lord [E]hath [A]done.
[A]Count your blessings, name them [E]one [Bm]by [E]one[Bm],
[E]Count your blessings, see what [A]God [E]hath [A]done!
Count your [D]blessings, [E]name them [Bm]one by [E]one,
[A]And it will sur[D]prise you [Bm]what the [A]Lord [E]hath [A]done.

[A]Are you ever burdened with a [E]load [Bb]of [Bm]care[E]?
Does the cross seem heavy [C#m]you are [A]called [Bm]to [A]bear?
Count your many blessings, every [C#m]doubt [Bb]will [Bm]fly[E],
And you [Bm]will keep [E]singing as the [A]days go by.

[Key Change]
[Bb]When you look at others with their [F]lands [Bm]and [F]gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His [Bb]wealth
[F]un[Bb]told;
Count your many blessings. Wealth [F]can [Bm]never [F]buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your [Bb]home [F]on [Bb]high[F].

Count your many blessings, name them [F]one by [C]one,
[F]Count your blessings, see what [Bb]]God [F]hath done[A][Bb]!
Count your [Eb]blessings [F]name them one by one
[Bb]And it will sur[Eb]prise you [C]what the [Bb]Lord [F]hath [Bb]done
Count your blessing name them [F]one by one


So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.
