I Have Been Blessed- Lyrics and Chords


Took me a long time to type all this out but it's so hard to find the music for this. My friend April needed a copy but I decided to post it here too just in case anyone else needed it as well :)


I Have Been Blessed


Verse 1: 

C                                                         Am

When He moves among us all, that He does 

     F                             G

all of His mercy, and all of His love 

                   C                           Am

and the pen of the writer could write everyday 

    F                              G

even this world could never contain 

                            C
how I've been blessed 




Verse 2: 
                        C                                 Am

The warmth in winter, the flowers in spring 
                        F                                              G

the laughter in summe,r and the changing of leaves 
                        C                                 Am     

the food on my table, a good place to sleep 
                        F                                  G

clothes on my back, and shoes on my feet 
                        C
I have been blessed 




Chorus: 
                        F                                  G

I have been blessed, God's so good to me 
                        C                                 Am

precious are His thoughts of you and me 
                        F                                              G

no way I could count them, there's not enough time 
                 C                                        Am

so I'll just thank Him for being so kind 
F                                  G

God has been good, so good 
                        C
I have been blessed 




Verse 3: 
                        C                                 Am

Arms that will raise, a voice that can talk 
                        F                                  G
hands that can touch, and legs that can walk 

                        C                     Am

ears that can listen, eyes that can see 
                        F                                  G

oh I've got to praise Him as long as I breathe 
                        C
I have been blessed 




Verse 4: 
                        C                                    Am

A father and mother, who nurtured and raised 
                        F                      G                    

a brother and sister, memories made 
                        C                     Am

our pastor to lead us, the altar to pray 
                        F                                  G

stripes that can heal, the blood that can save 
                        C
I have been blessed 




Chorus: 
                        F                                  G        

I have been blessed, God's so good to me 
                        C                                 Am

precious are His thoughts of you and me 
                        F                                              G

no way I could count them, there's not enough time 
                        C                                 Am

so I'll just thank Him for being so kind 
                        F             G

God has been good, so good 
                        C
I have been blessed 




Verse 5: 
                        C                                 Am                             

We live in a country, the greatest on earth 
                                    F                                  G

our flag stands for freedom, and what it is worth 
                                    C                     Am

she stands in the harbor, Miss Liberty calls 
                        F                                  G
all have gave some, but some have gave all 
                          C

for me to be blessed 


KEY CHANGE TO D



Verse 6: 
                                    D                                 Bm

He's my shoulder to lean on, when I am down 
                                    G                                 A

the rock where He leads me, when I'm overwhelmed 
                                    D                                 Bm

the place where He hides me, under His wings 
                        G                                 A

He's not just a song , He's the reason I sing 
                        D
I have been blessed 




Chorus: 
                        G                                 A        

I have been blessed, God's so good to me

precious are His thoughts of you and me 
                        G                                             A

no way I could count them, there's not enough time

so I'll just thank Him for being so kind 
                        G                     A

God has been good, so good 
                        D
I have been blessed
