This song took 2 weeks to come about. Halfway through the process I had the right tune, but the wrong words, so I totally changed the words and topic to fit the tune, and it was more difficult than I expected.
But I love the lyrics. If we can focus on the blessings in our lives, then the darkness needs to flee. I have been fortunate not to have to battle depression, and I know there are no easy answers, but it can't help thanking God for the good things he has provided for us.
205 Suno AI renderings later and I have this version you are listening to. So far this is the song I have spent the most time on, but it has been worth it.
May God bless you as you listen to it, and draw closer to Jesus.

"Blessings" by KunzyPoet
I talked to Jesus
Yesterday
The sun was shining
On my face
A cloud was climbing
With a dark shade
I didn't worry
Then I hear a ring on
My phone
I answer, then turn
To stone
My friend's broken up,
I'm alone
Then darkness swallows me
There's a war
In my heart
But I can't give up
I count my blessings
Everyday
Each one makes me smile
And brighten my life
To fight
The night
Right out of my soul
I shine by the light of my Jesus
When I watch the news
I glare
Innocent people hurt
It's not fair
The pain in the world
Is there
And it's affecting me
I'm angry at God
And shout
There's no answer and now
I doubt
The devil grins
Real proud
I can't believe he stole my joy
There's a war
In my heart
But I can't give up
I count my blessings
Everyday
Each one makes me smile
And brighten my life
To fight
The night
Right out of my soul
I shine by the light of my Jesus
I count my blessings
Everyday
Each one makes me smile
And brighten my life
To fight
The night
Right out of my soul
I shine by the light of my Jesus
The darkness comes
I want to run
It's in my thoughts
And now I'm caught
Then God hears my desperate cries
And banishes the darkness out of my life
When I smile,
My joy
Has power to lock
The door
On the darkness
Evermore
But everyday
There's a war
In my heart
But I can't give up
I count my blessings
Everyday
Each one makes me smile
And brighten my life
To fight
The night
Right out of my soul
I shine by the light of my Jesus
I count my blessings
Everyday
Each one makes me smile
And brighten my life
To fight
The night
Right out of my soul
I shine by the light of my Jesus
