“Count Your Blessings”.
Count your blessings one by one, When dawn appears and day has just begun. They will light your heart with happiness, Make each hour bright and bring you gladness.
Count your blessings one by one, When twilight falls and toil of day is done, And in sweet dreams they’ll come again to you, If you will count your blessings each day through.
Count your blessings while you may, For we are here but little time to stay. All around are hearts sincere and true, Lovely things abound just waiting for you.
Count your blessings while you may, The big or small, whichever comes your way. For then you’ll find this world a place of love, If you will count your blessings from above.
“Times They Are A Changing”. (Extract from a song written and recorded by Bob Dylan back in 1964.)
“Come writers and critics, who prophesize with your pen, And keep your eyes wide, the chance won’t come again, And don’t speak too soon for the wheel’s still in spin. And there’s no tellin’ who that it’s namin’, For the loser now will be later to win, For the times they are a-changin’.”

God’s Coloring Book.
Today as I was walking, In the fields just down the way. I sat down on a fallen log, To pass the time away, And as I looked around me, The more that I did look, The more I realize that I was viewing, God’s coloring book. I saw a golden ray of sunlight, A silver drop of dew, A soft, white floating cloud, Sailing cross the sky of blue, A yellow dandelion, A pretty evergreen, And some red and orange flowers, Growing wild along the stream, And the more I look around me, And the more that I do look, The more I realize that I was viewing, God’s coloring book. The greyness in an old man’s hair, The pink in baby’s cheeks, The blackness in a stormy sky, The brown in fallen leaves, And the multicolored rainbow, Stretched across the sky, And the purple haze at sunset, Just before the night. And the more I look around me, The more that I do look, The more I realize that I am viewing, God’s coloring book. Then I turn my face toward the sky, And say a silent prayer. And though God doesn’t speak to me, I see him everywhere, He is all around me. He’s everywhere I look, And each new day is but a new page, In God’s coloring book. Yes, each new day is but a new page In God’s coloring book.

Everybody Hurts.
When the day is long, And the night, and the night is yours alone. When you’re sure you’ve had enough, Of this life, hang on, Don’t let yourself go, ‘Cause everybody cries, everybody hurts, sometimes. Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it’s time to sing along, When your day is night alone. When you feel like letting go. When you think you’ve had too much of this life, Hang on. Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends. Everybody hurts. Don’t throw away your hand, Don’t throw away your hand, If you feel like you’re alone, No, no, no, you’re not alone. If you’re on your own, In this life, the days and nights are long. When you think you’ve had too much, Of this life to hang on. Well, everybody hurts sometimes, Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes. Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Everybody hurts, Sometimes everybody hurts, Everybody cries.

He Would Know.
In my mind I’ve made love to you often, But only in my mind can it be so. ‘Cause there’s someone at home that’s countin’ on me, And if I did, I’m sure that he would know.
Chorus Yes, he would know, yes, he could tell, For he has loved me long enough to know me very well, And if I lied, he’d see it in my eyes. I know my guilt would show and he would know.
But I must admit you’re someone very special, And it would be so easy to let go. Making love to you could be so easy, But if I did, I’m sure that he would know.
Repeat Chorus
My conscience just won’t let me make love to you, I know it would be sweet, but I just can’t. When I go home to him, I must be able, To look him in the eyes and say I ain’t.
