Verse 1 (Quiet Wonder - Gentle sway) Can you count the stars in heaven, Shining bright across the sky? Can you count the clouds above you, Softly drifting, passing by? Our dear Lord who never slumbers, Knows them all and each He numbers. And He knows and cares for you, Oh yes, He knows and cares for you. (Guitar walkdown, soft smile in the voice.) Verse 2 (Light Joy - Reflective groove) Can you count the birds now singing, Through the sunshine of the day? Can you count the little fishes, In the streams where waters play? Our dear Lord, their number knowing, Keeps them safe where they are going. And He will remember you, Yes, He will remember you. (Gentle fingerpicking, short harmonica line between verses.) Verse 3 (Peaceful Assurance - Warm tone) Can you count the little children, Praying softly through the night? Asking God to guard and bless them, Till they wake with morning light? Our dear Lord who reigns in heaven, Loving care to each has given. And He loves you dearly too, Yes, He loves you dearly too. (Pause — let the last line breathe with a quiet smile.) Bridge (Simple Reflection - Spoken rhythm) When I forget how small I am, He whispers through the skies above — “If I can hold the stars and sea, Then child, I can hold you in My love.” (Soft guitar fill — slow bend or gentle chord roll.) Verse 4 (Hopeful Closing - Easy flow) Can you count the joys He’s given, In the blessings every day? Every breath, a gift of heaven, Guides us gently on our way. He who paints the sky with wonder, Hears your voice when you go under. And He’ll see you safely through, ‘Cause He knows and cares for you. (Instrumental outro, slow fade on final G chord.)
