This school year has been very hard on our family. We have suffered loss, had problems that we have not had to face in quite a while, are behind in school, and are trying to take it one day at a time. I am consistently amazed that just when we need some encouragement, it is there. This song has been in my head for a while, well, that and "Da Lime in Da Coconut" thanks to my father in law.
This song reminds me that every moment of every day I have a choice. I can choose to fall into despair, or I can choose to look beyond myself, my circumstances, and simply find peace in through my Savior. We have spent a good amount of time recently in the desert place, the wilderness, on a road marked with suffering, surrounded by dark clouds, yet today I choose to praise God. For God is always good, no matter where I am. And yes, there is pain in the offering of this praise at times, but still I will choose to say blessed be Your name, Lord.
Blessed Be Your Name
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
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
