Blessed Be Your Name
Tree63

Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the 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 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 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

I was hard at work this evening sitting on the couch in my living room-enjoying the breeze drifting through the open window. My mind has been a bit frazzled lately, so it has been good to sit and be still.

As this song played, I thought about all that I have learned this year. Although I wouldn't have chosen much of it, I am thankful for what God has done in my heart. It has only been recently that as I sing this song, I think about all that God's name implies. Not only is it His name, but it represents His character, the very essence of who He is. Even with the hurt in my heart and the tears in my eyes, I couldn't help but lift my hands in worship to the God who is.
