Count It All Joy Music & Lyrics by Rick Conklin & Mike Holmes Copyright © 1978 Born to a new world, and just as in all worlds You need to know how to survive You loved your first breath, but your first breath alone Is not going to keep you alive You’re young and you’re hungry, and weak as you are Starvation could pull you away So come fill yourself on the bread, wine, and water To keep holding hunger at bay, and Count it all joy, count it all joy ‘Cause it’s then that you know That you’re starting to grow When you count it all joy Now that you’re no longer bound to your worries There’s no need to carry them on Though down through the years, you’ve grown deeply attached You won’t miss them once that they’re gone And next time you take time to count all your troubles Regard them with little concern For you’re given power, that all you need do If you want the tables to turn, is Count it all joy, count it all joy And the problems you face Will remain in their place When you count it all joy Remember the best life is not always easy And though it’s worth more than it cost You’ll have to lay down what you never could keep To keep what can never be lost For fools dance to the tune of a world That hasn’t much longer to play Let your heart flow free to the music That cannot be taken away, and Count it all joy, count it all joy You can make it your song And you’ll find that you’re strong When you count it all joy, count it all joy Count it all joy, count it all joy
