Count it all Joy (song series)


Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
James 1:2-4

There is not much to add to the reason this song was written.  It is still a struggle to truly “count it all joy” when we face troubled times.  But, God wants us to grow, wants us to live up to the potential He created us for.  The only way we can grow is to be put through the fire…to be tested to see the steadfastness mature, which grows that character.

The one thing that we must do, however, is not rely on our own strength…or we will fall.  He allows us struggle so we can lean on Him and He will carry us through and see the blessings on the other side!

I added a bluesy twist to this song.  I love to sing in a blues style…when my voice will hold up for it!  It kinda fits the message…except there’s a positive outlook on distress instead of “woe is me”…maybe we can make a new genre of “joyful blues?”

Enjoy my song!

Only you can carry me through
These rough moments I endure
To view the blessing beyond my front door

So count it all joy
Count it all joy

When we face trials it shows that 
You are there 
To teach us to grow us
and make us more like You
More like You

Oh the glory you have in store!
Worth living, worth fighting for
Overcoming all pain and suffering
