No, No it ain't the way it used to be and
  Yea, 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
  Yea, 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
  Yea, 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
  Yea, 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
