Lyrics
I'm counting my blessings
Telling you what God has done
I'm counting my blessings
I'm naming them one by one
And if you need a witness
I will be the one
I'm counting my blessings
I'm telling you what God has done
I remember when the pain was so deep
Thought that it would kill me
My strength was so weak
But when I looked around
I all I could see
Your hands on me
And that's just one of the ways
I'm counting my blessings
Telling you what God has done
I'm counting my blessings
I'm naming them one by one
And if you need a witness
I will be the one
I'm counting my blessings
I'm telling you what God has done
Just remember when the bills were due
You're friends we're few
He always came through
Even when your heart was broken
Your faith was stolen
But now you can get up and say
I'm counting my blessings
Telling you what God has done
Telling you
Telling you what He's done
I'm counting my blessings
I'm naming them one by one
And if you need a witness
I will be the one
I'm counting my blessings
I'm telling you what God has done
I'm counting my blessings
Telling you what God has done
I'm counting my blessings
I'm naming them one by one
And if you need a witness
I will be the one
I'm counting my blessings
Telling you what God has done
Telling you what God has done
Telling you what God has done
Telling you what God has done
Telling you what God has done
Telling you what God has done
And if you need a witness
Telling you what God has done
Telling you what God has done
Telling you what God has done
Telling you what God has done
He's been real good
Telling you what God has done
Wish I had the time to tell it all
How he answered me before I even called
I got angels watching over all-night long
And a promise that He'll never let me fall
Over and over
Keep on blessing me
Over and over
Oh, yes, You've been good
Keep on blessing me
Over and over
Keep on blessing me
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
I'm counting my blessings
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Keep on blessing me
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Keep on blessing me
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Keep on blessing me
Ad-libs
I got breath in my body
Food on my table
I got a testimony
You should not keep it to yourself
Count
Count your blessings
Count
Count your blessings
Count
Count your blessings
Count
Count your blessings
And if you need a witness
If you need a witness
I will be the one
I will be the one
Counting my blessings
Telling you what God has done
Telling you what God has done
If you need a witness
If you need a witness
I will be the one
I will
I'm counting my blessings
Telling you what God has done
If you need a witness
I will be the one

Meaning & Inspiration
“Counting My Blessings” turns remembrance into praise. Its recurring chorus names God’s acts one by one and treats testimony as a public acknowledgment of his faithfulness. The verses recall deep pain, weakness, financial pressure, loneliness, and heartbreak, but each memory is answered by evidence of divine care. Gratitude in the song is therefore not detached from hardship; it grows from looking back and recognizing help that was present through it.
The later sections expand that testimony through ordinary gifts such as breath, food, protection, answered prayer, and continuing provision. Repeated counting reinforces the biblical practice of refusing to forget God’s benefits. The song also presents gratitude as something worth sharing, with the singer volunteering to serve as a witness to what God has done. Its central idea aligns closely with scriptural calls to remember the Lord’s works and give thanks in every circumstance. Blessing is portrayed not as a single event but as a pattern of faithful care recognized over time.
