Sunday’s Song: I Have Been Blessed
Although my purpose for Sunday’s song was to share a new or unfamiliar hymn that has gotten lost in time and publications. Many were never reprinted or were missing key verses. As beautiful as they are, it seems such a shame to not become familiar with their beautiful melodies and sweet messages within. However, with copyright and touchy “sharing” capabilities, my posts were often removed. I am not claiming any of the music I share, but, I also don’t want to stop sharing beautiful music. So, I will go a different way. Personally, I believe there is music and church music. As God commands us in His word, to do things decently and in order; taking a conservative stance on Holy music is often a “gray area” or turn off in many churches. Being more traditional, personally I love hymns! However, there are a lot of great songs that exemplify and praise the Lord. So, I will be sharing songs that are beautiful and you may have heard differently. However, the key message within is what makes it special and done in a exemplary way, only adds value; and delights my soul! I hope you enjoy this Sunday’s Song, “I Have Been Blessed”! ***The Links provided are in no way of monetary value or for commission purposes. I just want to share beautiful music currently available. Many Christians and rural ministries have never heard of these names before and/or versions of the beautiful songs they already know and love. Music nurtures the soul with the truth and message it sings!
There are so many lovely versions of this song available, but I wanted to share our two favorites that may be purchased. (Links provided.) The Beautiful Clark Family sings this wonderfully. It is sure to be a blessing to you! To find and/or purchase this or any of their other fabulous music, check out their shop here.
And possibly the most beautiful version, another favorite; the lovely Martinez Family. (Father & Daughter) Their amazing music may be purchased by the North Valley Publications.

Sunday’s Song: I Have Been Blessed
“I Have Been Blessed” is a beautiful song written by Michael Compton, a Bluegrass Mandolin player (protege of Bill Monroe. A modern time master of the mandolin and a Mississippi Native, Michael Compton penned this inspiring and moving song.
By Michael Compton
When He moves among us, all that He does
All of His mercy and all of His love
And the pen of the writer could write everyday
Even this world could never contain How I’ve been blessed
The warmth in winter the flowers in spring
The laughter in summer and the changing of leaves
The food on my table a good place to sleep
Clothes on my back and shoes on my feet
I have been blessed I have been blessed
God’s so good to me
Precious are His thoughts of you and me
No way I could count them there’s not enough time
So I’ll just thank Him for being so kind
God has been good so good I have been blessed
Arms that will raise
a voice that can talk
Hands that can touch and legs that can walk
Ears that can listen eyes that can see
Oh I’ve got to praise Him as long as I breathe I have been blessed
A father and mother who nurtured and raised
A brother and sister memories made
Our pastor to lead us the altar to pray
Stripes that can heal the blood that can save I have been blessed
I have been blessed
God’s so good to me
Precious are His thoughts of you and me
No way I could count them there’s not enough time
So I’ll just thank Him for being so kind
God has been good so good
I have been blessed
We live in a country the greatest on earth
Our flag stands for freedom and what it is worth
She stands in the harbor Miss Liberty calls
All have gave some
but some have gave all
For me to be blessed
He’s my shoulder to lean on, when I am down
The rock where He leads me
when I’m overwhelmed
The place where He hides me, under His wings
He’s not just a song, He’s the reason I sing
I have been blessed
I have been blessed
God’s so good to me
Precious are His thoughts of you and me
No way I could count them
there’s not enough time
So I’ll just thank Him for being so kind
God has been good
so good
I have been blessed
