Taking the time to write down your blessings is a great way to show yourself the reasons to be happy, and it gives you something to look back on in times of sadness or weariness so that you may see that even when you feel lonely, God is with you.

Enter His Gates Lyrics

Verse
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
and enter His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him for He's worthy

and bless His holy name.

Bridge
When I come in the house of the Lord,
I will serve Him with gladness
for He's done so much for me.
I get excited every time I praise Your name,
when I think of how He set me free.

Chorus
I just can't stop clapping my hands.
I just can't stop stomping my feet.
I just can't stop shouting Your name,
praising the Lord, Lord.

Vamp

Sopranos
I can't stop it,
I can't stop it,
I can't stop it,
praising the Lord.

Altos
Clapping my hands,
stomping my feet,
I just can't stop praising the Lord.

Tenors
When I think about what He's done for me,
I just can't stop praising the Lord.

Just a little help for those of you struggling with being thankful.
