A Psalm of Counting Blessings
Written by Lesley Tan during her 52-day pursuit of God amid the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown, inspired by Secrets of the Secret Place
In the beginning I was counting down the days to the end of circuit breaker, and we started on the book of Secrets of Secrets Place.
On Day 25, came a verse:
‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness’” (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Indeed, and that was when I realised I stopped counting on the number of days and as days went on, 52days has gone by. I was counting my blessings everyday instead ever since and the next thing I knew 2020 is almost coming to end.
For all that You has given me thus far – this very precious life and angels You have sent. Even during my seasons of nights, as I still my soul to remember the cross, where You took all my sins and shame and restore all I lost.
You made me realize that because I have been made right with God, and Christ lives within me.
& every day I wake up, I’m living, I’m alive and I’m blessed.
I will praise on the mountain
I will praise you when the mountain is in my way
You’re the summit where my feet are
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
No less God within the shadows
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
You’re the heaven where my heart is
In the highlands and the heartache all the same
Whatever I walk through Wherever I am
Your name can move mountains Wherever I stand
And if ever I walk through The valley of death
I’ll sing through the shadows My song of ascent
