Blessings
Brandon Harms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking for that feeling
The one that brings the light back to your eyes
The way that I was living
Meant something must be missing
When all I had to do was change my mind
But now I′m down on my knees every night
Counting all my blessings
Cause I know
That sometimes I forget
Drowning out the heartache
Leaving all the mistakes
That I've made, and telling them goodbye
Remembering all the things that are going right
Counting all my blessings
Now I don′t have to wonder
When the current drags me under
Whether I will make it out alive
I think about His goodness
And it brings me to the surface
And I have the strength to swim to safer tides
And I find the answers I've been trying to find
Counting all my blessings
Listing out the good things
Cause I know
That sometimes I forget
Drowning out the heartache
Leaving all the mistakes
That I've made, and telling them goodbye
Remembering all the things that are going right
Counting all my blessings
Counting all my blessings
Listing out the good things
Cause I know
That sometimes I forget
Drowning out the heartache
Leaving all the mistakes
That I′ve made, and telling them goodbye
Remembering all the things that are going right
Counting all my blessings
