Count Your Blessings | Johnson Oatman, Jr.

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.

Refrain:
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
*Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
[*And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.]

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.

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.

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

lulu got married! =))



















first time at a malay wedding. since mostly malay was spoken, i really have no idea of what is being said.

however, i really feel that lulu had grown up - to be a wife. not sure if you know what i mean. but usually at weddings, i feel the emphasis is about "are you willing to marry so-and-so" and about love - to love one another till the end of time. not that i dont feel about that at lulu's wedding, just that the "growing up to be a wife" part is stronger. =)

will ask lulu for translation the next time we go out. =))
