Intro: Count It All Joy
Bebe & Cece Winans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's hard to understand sometimes
Is there a master plan
How do I make sense of everything I'm going through

But maybe it's not ours to know
So we have to learn to let things go
And simply try to make the most
Of every day and have the faith
That somehow we will find our way

So count it all joy, all that you're going through
Even when you're feeling down
Count it all joy, each moment's a gift to you
So turn it all around
And even in the darkest night
If you look hard enough
There's a trace of sunlight waiting there
Yes waiting there for you

Been searching everywhere to find
That rainbow in the air
Whenever I came close it just seemed to disappear
I had to change my point of view
Start looking at myself
I can't believe I never knew
Everything that I need
Was right here yes inside of me

So count it all joy, all that you're going through
Even when you're feeling down
Count it all joy, each moment's a gift to you
So turn it all around
And even in the darkest night
If you look hard enough
There's a trace of sunlight waiting there
Yes waiting there for you

I don't have to be afraid
From today I have the faith
That somehow I will find my way

Count it all joy, all that I'm going through
Even when I'm feeling down
Count it all joy, this moment's a gift to you
So turn it all around
And even in the darkest night
If I look straight ahead




There's a trace of sunlight waiting there
Yes waiting there for me and you
