No, No it ain´t the way it used to be and
Yea, yes, it may be hard to believe
When, When I think about all my blessings
I, oh I´m telling you God´s been good to me

Growing up in a real big family
I had to a take what I could get
There was always a sister or brother
I had to share every thing with
I had to share my room, wear hand-me-downs
´Cause we didn´t have much money
But now there´s not much I long for
Telling you God´s been good to me

No, No it ain´t the way it used to be and
Yea, yes, it may be hard to believe
When, When I think about all my blessings
I, oh I´m telling you God´s been good to me

You may think I´ve got it easy
And that´s the way it´s always been
But that´s not really my story
I´ll tell you how it all happened
I had to work real hard to get here
But I didn´t do it all alone
Someone was watching over me
And that is why I sing this song

No, No it ain´t the way it used to be and
Yea, yes, it may be hard to believe
When, When I think about all my blessings
I, oh I´m telling you God´s been good to me

If I began to count my blessings
I wouldn´t know where to begin
God has done so much for me
He´s been much more that a friend
He´s been protector and provider
Though I didn´t always know
Always been right beside me
And without him where would I be

No, No it ain´t the way it used to be and
Yea, yes, it may be hard to believe
When, When I think about all my blessings
I, oh I´m telling you God´s been good to me
