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 every day
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

(Chorus)

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

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

(Chorus)

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

Verse 7
Hope for tomorrow, Grace for today
Joy for my sorrow, and a measure of faith
My tears of repentance, Brought rivers of peace
cause my sins and hidden, in the depths of the sea
Oh I have been blessed

(Chorus)

Verse 8:
Mountains so high, the river that flow
the oceans so wide, the rain and the snow
the sun and the moon, the stars in the sky
He created it all, and he’s still alive
Oh I have been blessed

verse 9:
I know you are hurting, but don’t weep for me
the place where I’m living, beats all I have seen
I’m running down, the golden streets
I just layed my crown down at his feet
Yes, I have been blessed
