Count your blessings!


Tonight, I plan not to go any place for count down but spend quite time at home counting His blessings and look deeply into myself - what I need to change and what I wish to do in the coming year. 2009 - is my final year (I would say 5 months) in China and I want to see - what I have to do and i want to do to this country, to the people :) Wanna wish all of you a blessed 2009 :)

Let's sing this together...

Count your blessings 数算主恩歌

1. 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 hath 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,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

2. Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.

3. When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings. Wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

4. So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

1. 有时遇见苦难如同大波浪
有时忧愁丧胆似乎要绝望
若把主的恩典从头数一数
必能叫你惊讶立时乐欢呼

副歌:
主的恩典样样都要数
主的恩典都要记清楚
主的恩典样样都要数
必能叫你惊讶立时乐欢呼

2. 有时挂念世事如同挑重担
有时背着十架觉得难堪
若数主的恩典疑惑就飞去
必能叫你快乐立时赞美主

3. 每逢遭遇争战不论大或小
不要丧胆因主早已得胜了
深知主有恩典必甘愿扶助
安慰引导我们一直见天父

I felt the need to sing the entire song...maybe to bug my dog, I'm not sure...but now I'm afraid I just got that song stuck in my head too. ;) I guess I'll just have to accept it. Have a wonderful New Year.
