Blessed be Your Name

Life happens. Most of the time it's beautiful, sometimes it's not. Sometimes bad things happen and there are no real answers. The one thing that we can always be sure of is that nothing takes God by surprise. He is always worthy of our praises, always faithful, and always present. There are moments that it will take everything within us to choose to praise Him. In my experience, that choice makes all the difference.

This song helped me during one of those moments.

Blessed Be Your Name
by Matt Redman

Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name

From the rising of the sun over us
To the setting of the same
Though there's pain in the offering
Lord, Blessed be your name
Blessed be, blessed be, blessed be
Your Holy Name.

  1. You have been on my heart. I have been concerned that you were being "blown about in the wind" so I have been praying. I miss seeing you!
