I know I have posted this song on my blog before, but when I heard it again last nigh at a southern gospel jubilee I knew I had to post it again. The verse that blessed my heart last night was verse 6 where it says,
He’s my shoulder to lean on when I am down
the rock where He leads me when I’m overwhelmed
the place where He hides me under His wings
He’s not just a song He’s the reason I sing Sometimes I tend to be so focused on the things I don’t have or can’t do. When I should instead be thanking God for all He has allowed me to do. And to remember that He’s not just a song He’s the reason I sing I got emotional when I was listening to it. Because the song is so true we have been blessed and I thank God He blesses us when we need it. I hope this song encourages you!

I Have Been Blessed.
Verse 1:
When He moves among us all that He does
all of His mercy and all of His love
and the pen of the writer could write everyday
even this world could never contain
how I’ve been blessed
Verse 2:
The warmth in winter the flowers in spring
the laughter in summer and the changing of leaves
the food on my table a good place to sleep
clothes on my back and shoes on my feet
I have been blessed
Chorus:
I have been blessed God’s so good to me
precious are His thoughts of you and me
no way I could count them there’s not enough time
so I’ll just thank Him for being so kind
God has been good so good
I have been blessed
Verse 3:
Arms that will raise a voice that can talk
hands that can touch and legs that can walk
ears that can listen eyes that can see
oh I’ve got to praise Him as long as I breathe
I have been blessed
Verse 4:
A father and mother who nurtured and raised
a brother and sister memories made
our pastor to lead us the altar to pray
stripes that can heal the blood that can save
I have been blessed
Chorus:
I have been blessed God’s so good to me
precious are His thoughts of you and me
no way I could count them there’s not enough time
so I’ll just thank Him for being so kind
God has been good so good
I have been blessed
Verse 5:
We live in a country the greatest on earth
our flag stands for freedom and what it is worth
she stands in the harbor Miss Liberty calls
all have gave some but some have gave all
for me to be blessed
Verse 6:
He’s my shoulder to lean on when I am down
the rock where He leads me when I’m overwhelmed
the place where He hides me under His wings
He’s not just a song He’s the reason I sing
I have been blessed
Chorus:
I have been blessed God’s so good to me
precious are His thoughts of you and me
no way I could count them there’s not enough time
so I’ll just thank Him for being so kind
God has been good so good
I have been blessed
