Lyrics
Verse 1
It’s like it was yesterday
I was a praying for a miracle
Scared to have a little hope
And now looking back today
Seeing all the things You’ve done
I can’t even add them up
Pre-Chorus
One, two, three
Up to infinity
I’d run out of numbers
Before I could thank You for everything
Chorus
God I’m still counting my blessings
All that You’ve done in my life
The more that I look in the details
The more of Your goodness I find
Father on this side of heaven
I know that I’ll run out of time
But I will keep counting my blessings
Knowing I can’t count that high
Verse 2
And I know that seasons
Never last forever
So, God I will remember
All of the reasons
My heart has to be grateful
All the times you have been faithful to me
Chorus
God I’m still counting my blessings
All that You’ve done in my life
The more that I look in the details
The more of Your goodness I find
Father on this side of heaven
I know that I’ll run out of time
But I will keep counting my blessings
Knowing I can’t count that high
Tag
Oh, I can’t count that high
High
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
High
Oh, Your goodness, Your goodness
Pre-Chorus
One, two, three
Up to infinity
I’d run out of numbers
Before I could thank You for everything
Final Chorus
God I’m still counting my blessings
All that You’ve done in my life (Oh oh oh
The more that I look in the details (In the details)
The more of Your goodness I find (Oh oh oh)
Father on this side of heaven
I know that I’ll run out of time (Oh oh oh)
But I will keep counting my blessings
Knowing I can’t count that high
Tag
I will keep counting my blessings
Knowing I can’t count that high

Meaning & Inspiration
“Counting My Blessings” begins from the perspective of someone who once prayed cautiously for a miracle and can now look back on evidence of God’s care. The counting image turns gratitude into something deliberately concrete: goodness is found in details, remembered seasons, and repeated instances of faithfulness rather than in a vague feeling. The pre-chorus admits that those gifts exceed any possible total, giving the title its central idea.
Verse two acknowledges that circumstances change, so remembrance becomes a practice for unstable seasons. The chorus holds that practice within the limits of a lifetime: the singer expects to run out of time before running out of reasons to give thanks. Repeating the count near the end does not produce a final number; it returns the song to praise, with the closing tag accepting that God’s blessings remain beyond calculation.
