Ain't God Good
Counting Blessings: A Hymn of Gratitude by Foothills Youth Choir
Lyrics
Ain't God good, to give us so many blessings
Acknowledging the goodness of God for bestowing numerous blessings upon us.
Undeserving, that's what we are
Recognizing our unworthiness in receiving the blessings mentioned in line 1.
We ought to thank Him, love and praise Him
Expressing the need to show gratitude, love, and praise to God.
A little more today, a whole lot more tomorrow
Encouraging continuous thanksgiving and devotion, with an increasing commitment over time.
For forty long years, God's people journeyed in the wilderness
Referencing the historical journey of God's people in the wilderness for 40 years.
Searching for Canaan, that blessed promised land
Highlighting the quest for Canaan, the promised land, as a symbol of God's blessings.
They never went too hungry, nor they never got too thirsty
Noting that God provided sustenance during the journey, preventing hunger and thirst.
The more that God kept blessing them, the more they did complain
Observing the tendency of God's people to complain despite continuous blessings.
Ain't God good, to give us so many blessings
Reiterating the theme of God's goodness and the abundance of blessings.
Undeserving, that's what we are
Emphasizing again our undeserving nature in receiving God's blessings.
We ought to thank Him, love and praise Him
Reiterating the call for gratitude, love, and praise towards God.
A little more today, a whole lot more tomorrow
Encouraging a continuous and growing expression of thanks and devotion.
In the times that we live so many are unthankful
Commenting on the prevalent ungratefulness in contemporary times.
And many more they fail to see that God has given all
Highlighting the lack of awareness in recognizing God's abundant gifts to all.
Never having time for God, they're always busy working
Describing the busyness of many, neglecting time for God and focusing on worldly matters.
Living for the world that is and not the world to come
Noting a tendency to live for the present world rather than considering the future.
Ain't God good, to give us so many blessings
Affirming once again the goodness of God in providing abundant blessings.
Undeserving, that's what we are
Reiterating the acknowledgment of being undeserving of God's blessings.
We ought to thank Him, love and praise Him
Stressing the importance of expressing thanks, love, and praise to God.
A little more today, a whole lot more tomorrow
Encouraging a continuous and growing commitment to gratitude and devotion.
Ain't God good, to give us so many blessings
Repeating the acknowledgment of God's goodness and abundance of blessings.
Undeserving, that's what we are
Reiterating the idea of being undeserving of the blessings received from God.
We ought to thank Him, love and praise Him
Emphasizing the ongoing need for gratitude, love, and praise towards God.
A little more today, a whole lot more tomorrow
Encouraging a continuous and growing expression of thanks and devotion in the future.
