Blessed Be the Name of the Lord

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

Janea, thanks so much for posting this song on your blog. It was so special to read a song that encourages us to bless the Lord in both good and bad times. Sometimes we may not be all smiles and rejoicing on the outside, 'cause the pain and sorrow can be so intense. I'm just thankful that God looks at, knows, and hears our hearts. The Spirit in us will, at just the right time, get us to the place where we will bless the Lord and rejoice.

Thank you for your post! God is God through all our circumstances. Even when the situations of life change around us, we can find security and peace in blessing the name of the One who does not change.

It was a true blessing talking to you on Friday.
