Lyrics
I Stopped at One
Chorus:
I tried to count my blessings one by one,
But I stopped at one--for You are enough.
You're all I need in this life; You lift me when I'm down.
You walk with me through the rain--such a loving friend.
Verse 1:
I've tested the world and seen with my eyes;
It offers nothing but sorrow and lies.
It's full of darkness as it spins--I've seen it with my eyes.
Oh, how I long for His coming tomorrow.
Chorus:
I tried to count my blessings one by one,
But I stopped at one--for You are enough.
You're all I need in this life; You lift me when I'm down.
You walk with me through the rain--such a loving friend.
Verse 2:
I've chased after dreams that faded like smoke,
Held on to promises that broke.
But You remained through the silence and storm,
With arms open wide--so gentle, so warm.
There's no one like You, my King;
You lifted me up from the dirt and sin. *Chorus 2*
