Lullaby Sung to “Down in the Valley”, American Traditional Song

Counting My Blessings

I felt so grumpy, listless and scared

I kept a journal, can’t believe I dared.

I’d Spent time and energy

For the worst I prepared.

Then focused on good stuff

Can’t b’lieve I dared.

Counting my blessings, gives my heart ease.

They number a billion—or more, if you please

More if you please, dear.  More, if you please

Counting my blessings, gives my heart ease.

 I’ll high-five my past self, And future self, too

Grace overflowing, really, who knew?

Really, who knew, dear – but it’s so true

Grace overflowing, really, who knew?

 My complaints didn’t help me – how did I forget

My heart is so full now, and I’m in your debt

Counting the highlights, and have no regret

My heart is so full now—I’ll have no regret.

 Roses love sunshine, violets love dew,

Angels in heaven  – I thank them, too.

I thank them, too, dear – I thank them, too.

Angels in Heaven – know I thank them, too.
