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
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
Job 1:21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
Somehow,the above song and verse have been on my heart for the past week. What we have, none belongs to us. We brought nothing into this world, and we will not bring anything with us when we leave this world. Not money, not cars, not houses, none of our earthly possessions. What God gives us, He can choose to take away at any time. He knows best.
Food for thought, how many of us can still say "Blessed be Your name, LORD" when we are suffering? Will we still be able to praise Him in the storm?
Thats all for now. Shall continue reading tomorrow to see what other things I'm supposed to learn from Job!
10 Days to enlistment!
