[verse 1]
There was a time when I couldn't find
An answer to one prayer...
Losing my way as every day
Grew colder and grayer…
Then you came along and things that were wrong
Turned a whole lot righter...
The fire inside I thought had died
Burned a whole lot brighter...
[refrain 1]
And in a world unforgiving,
I started living
Letting each day suffice...
Now when it comes time to count my blessings,
I count you twice.
[verse 2]
Faith can be tough when times get rough
And hearts grow hard and weary…
But I can endure, of that I'm sure,
When you are near me...
I make a stand, just like any man,
The best within my powers…
Thinking of you and all you do
Gets me through the hours…
[refrain 2]
And in a world full of madness,
Heartache and sadness,
Struggle and sacrifice…
When it comes time to count my blessings,
I count you twice.
[bridge]
Forget the times
There wasn’t a blessing to borrow…
I count you twice,
Once for today and once for tomorrow.
[short instrumental, then repeat bridge]
[verse 3 – modulate key a HALF-STEP up]
Darkness has come when I get home,
No lights but one before me…
I climb the stairs and lose my cares,
You're waiting there for me...
It feels so right as all through the night
I wrap my arms around you...
There in your face I see God's grace,
I’m so thankful that I found you…
[refrain 3/close]
So let the world try and take me,
No one can break me,
No, not at any price...
'Cause when it comes time to count my blessings...
There is no doubt or second guessing...
Comes time to count my blessings,
I count you twice.
