Wasn’t We Blest
Wasn’t we blest
Wasn’t we blest
Praise God
Wasn’t we blest
Didn’t have a lot
Had a job to do
One change of close
One pair of shoes
Wasn’t we blest
Wasn’t we blest
Praise God
Wasn’t we blest
No TV set
Just a crosscut saw
And a pile of wood
For Ma and Pa
Wasn’t we blest
Wasn’t we blest
Praise God
Wasn’t we blest
Straight from the cow
Into the house
From the butter churn
Into my mouth
Wasn’t we blest
Wasn’t we blest
Praise God
Wasn’t we blest
Without a bridge
We learned to float
To the other side
On a ferry boat
Wasn’t we blest
Wasn’t we blest
Praise God
Wasn’t we blest
At Christmas time
Three candy sticks
Apples and nuts
That’s the size of it
Wasn’t we blest
Wasn’t we blest
Praise God
Wasn’t we blest
Children born at home
I believe God will
Answer prayer
Not one born ill
Wasn’t we blest
Wasn’t we blest
Praise God
Wasn’t we blest
After all these years
Of joy and strife
It sure has been
A wonderful life
Wasn’t we blest
Wasn’t we blest
Praise God
Wasn’t we blest
