	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song from the perspective of Tiny Tim Cratchit in Charles Dickens’ beautiful story A Christmas Carol and perform it annually in Edmonton’s original songwriter production of The Christmas Carol Project. Lyrics When the world is feeling cold and the sky more grey than blue And the snow it seems to fall heavy heartedly on you Time to count your blessings though seemingly but few Time to take a look at what's within and without you For health is more than walking And wealth much more than gold But kindness overwhelming as a gentle hand to hold So God bless us everyone with the riches of the soul And may hopelessness ne'er be the demon darkening our door When the world is feeling cold and the sky more grey than blue And the snow it seems to lie heavy heartedly on you Remember when you see us: the hungry, lame, the meek Who would feed us, heal us, keep us is the same one that you seek For joy is more than dancing Good cheer much more than wine But love is all enfolding as beholding hearts entwined When the world is feeling cold and the sky more grey than blue And the snow it seems to lie heavy heartedly on you To the counting house of blessings may we often chance to stray And in company together spend many’s the night and day
