COUNTING THE DAYS
When there is a tiresome thing you have to do,
Some folks count the hours and days, do you?
Well stop and think, why not enjoy every day?
Then I know more blessings will come your way.

It becomes a drudge when every moment is counted,
If it’s a chore I wonder if all your efforts will be noted
As being well done? However dull and weary the task
Do it with a will, and for the Lord’s help humbly ask.

Start with prayer to make the task enjoyable in every way,
And soon you’ll forget the hours and be singing all the day,
Then another day will be done, filled with joy and happiness
And you never even cared that it was one whole day less
