I Have Been Blessed {Song Lyrics}

-


When He moves among us, all that He does
All of His mercy and all of His love
If the pen of the writer could write everyday
Even this world could never contain
How I have been blessed

The warmth in the winter, the flowers in spring
Laughter in summer and the changing of leaves
Food on my table, a good place to sleep
Clothes on my back and shoes on my feet
I have been blessed


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

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


A father and mother who nurtured and raised
Brothers and sisters, memories made
Our pastor to lead us, the altar to pray
Stripes that can heal, and blood that can save
I have been blessed

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


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

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 up under His wings
He's not just a song, He's the reason I sing
I have been blessed


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

    Beautiful song lyrics. We have been so blessed... I like how it says "No way I could count them, there's not enough time. So I'll just thank Him for being so kind." We can't count all of the blessings He has given to us... there are too many. But we can be thankful. :)

Just a Little Update.

As you've probably noticed, this blog's posts have dwindled and have consisted of only book reviews since Christmas. Not what I promised, was it? I'm here today to talk about some things that I've been contemplating—and putting off, if we're going for honesty—for awhile. Now it's official, though. The decision is made, I'm happy with it, and I'm here to make the announcement. Chosen Vessels is closing. Okay, so that sounds much worse/drastic than this is actually going to be, but the gist of it is true. Sometime in March, I'll cease to update this blog. It won't be disappearing entirely, but I won't be posting here anymore. As I strive to strengthen the content of my main blog and create a better online author presence, I've come to realize that it's too confusing—not to mention time-consuming—to keep up with two blogs. Instead, I'll be posting something encouraging and/or something God has been showing me 2-4 weekends...

"Mary, Did You Know?" ~ the Story and the Song

-

This song was sang at church during the Christmas play last week (the 13th). And it really got me to thinking. Did  Mary know? I mean, she knew who He was, but how much of what He would go on to do did she know?  Seeing as how this song was written by my favorite comedian, I decided to share the story behind it. :)  //The Song// Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will one day walk on water? Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will save our sons and daughters? Did you know, that your Baby Boy Has come to make you new? This Child that you delivered,  Will soon deliver you.  Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will give sight to a blind man? Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Would calm a storm with his hand? Did you know, that your Baby Boy Has walked where angels trod  And when you kiss your little Baby,  You've kissed the face of God?  Oh, Mary, did you know?  Mary, did you know?...

Sometimes...

Sometimes I dance to a song on the radio. Sometimes I stare off into midair for 7.56 minutes before noticing that I'm doing it. Sometimes I ramble off numbers that I just made up, numbers like 7.56. Sometimes I daydream in the shower. Sometimes I eat ice cream out of the carton. Sometimes I write stories so deep, dark, and dear to my heart that they will be forever hidden in a locked document, never to see the light of day. Sometimes I am very dramatic. Sometimes I fantasize about things that will probably never happen. Sometimes I dream that those things will actually be in my future.  Sometimes I watch sappy movies and read books that a lot of people would probably hate. Sometimes I reseal those little papers that band-aids are in so that someone will think there's still something inside of them. Sometimes it works and someone opens 9.2 of them before realizing they've been pranked.  Sometimes I write stories that leave me hurt and raw, and the...
