Stop and Count Your Blessings – words and music by Judy Daigle (c) 2020

When the winter comes,
the nights are long and lonely.
When the north winds blow,
snow settles in the valley.
When the clouds set in,
the sun seems to never shine.

Chorus:
Stop and count your blessings, we all have a few.
Stop and count your blessings, it will help you through.
Come sit yourself beside the fire, it’ll change your point of view.
Stop and count your blessings.


When you’re far from home
you need the help of strangers.
When the road is long,
each hill becomes a mountain.
When the birds don’t sing
the silence is deafening.

(Chorus)


Bridge:
Without the winter, spring wouldn’t smell so sweet.
Without the rainfall, the flowers would not grow.
Without the darkness, you could not see the stars.
Without the journey, you would not cherish home.

(Chorus)

Come sit yourself beside the fire, it’ll change your point of view.
Stop and count your blessings.
