PUKUCONCURSO: LA VOZ CANTANTE SEMANA #40|COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS by JR Hutson and Johnson Oatman Jr.(Acapella Cover)
Hello awesome people on Pukuworld, this is the 40th week of our weekly contest in this amazing community. Its been a while since I participated, so it is my pleasure to participate once again!
Today, I bring to you a song which has a deep meaning and message of hope and joy. It is a song by JR Hutson and Johnson Oatman Jr.titled Count your blessings. It is obviously a Christian song which has been so popularised as a hymn in many churches.
The central message of the song is looking beyond the seeming difficulties we encounter in daily lives and focusing instead on the blessings we have received. Personally, this is key to living a happy life Amidst the strife and struggle of this life. If we hold on to only our bad experiences, we only become bitter and unprogressive. But when we let go of bad experiences and focus on the good things, we shall enjoy peace of mind because of the hope of better days ahead.
There are many other ways to interprète this song but this is my own reflection on the song!
I hope you enjoy it!!
Nb THE version that motivated me to sing the song was the version by the London fox singers and Inglid dumosch.
Song Lyrics
When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings; name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
[Chorus]
Count your blessings;
Name them one by one.
Count your blessings;
See what God hath done.
Count your blessings;
Name them one by one.
Count your many blessings;
See what God hath done.
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings; ev’ry doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.
Think that Christ has promised you his wealth untold.
Count your many blessings; money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven nor your home on high.
Do not be discouraged; God is over all.
Count your many blessings; angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
