Welcome to Lit Music That Lifts (LMTL), or Music Lifts 🎶 🏋 for short! Music Lifts seeks to highlight songs that encourage, inspire, and uplift the spirit; songs that exude fortitude, positivity, and resolve, even in the face of adversity.  Featured songs aren’t genre-specific; songs may or may not be faith-based. The goal is for these songs to make you feel better – be LIFTED to new heights!  So, for the 21^st edition of Music Lifts 🎶 🏋 (2022), we highlight 🎵 “Count Your Blessings” as performed by 🎙 Timothy Wright & The Concert Choir.

“Oh, oh, the blessing / Oh, oh, the blessing / Can’t you see? / Oh, what God has done.” Amen, amen, AMEN! 🎵 “Count Your Blessings” is a gospel classic courtesy of 🎙 Timothy Wright & The Concert Choir.  “Count Your Blessings” appears on the Rev’s 1983 album, 💿 Testify. On this spirited, soulful record, Wright and Choir tout the goodness of God, plain and simple.  Essentially, that’s what fuels those uplifting vibes. At one point, the collective sings, “Look and see / Take a look and see what God has done.”  Self-explanatory – at least to its intended base of believers – right? Right.  It is worth noting that Rev. Wright performs a marvelous verse, which speaks to God’s goodness summarized during the chorus.

Beyond the authenticity and excitement of Wright and choir, the music is exceptional.  The drums punctuate the lyrics with hits.  The keys – both piano and organ – provide ample color.  Furthermore, they help fuel the spirit with incredible musical lines.  Also, the bass can’t be left out, providing quite the foundation.  Vocals, instruments, and songwriting all work together to deliver an epic gospel cut that thrives in its simplicity.  It lifts my spirit, how about yours? Also, it’s worth noting, that 🎙 Sunday Service Choir recorded a fine rendition of this classic on their 💿 Jesus is Born album. Also, check out the rendition by the 🎙 Notre Dame Folk Choir.
