No, no, it ain't the way it used to be
And yeah, 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 yeah, 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 yeah, 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 yeah, 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
