blessed be your name

Blessed Be Your Name

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

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!

I can never quite put words to my what's inside my heart when I sing the words to this song. It's an awesome reminder that we are to praise Him at all times, no matter what's happening in our lives. When I think back on the times in my life "when the darkness closes in", my praise time with Him has been what has gotten me thru. How great is our God!!
