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

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 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 

-"Blessed Be Your Name" by Matt Redman

I was just singing this to myself yesterday. I sang the fourth verse and thought, Wow, I really need to work on this! God has just brought me through a tough and stressful time, and now I feel ready, like I've got everything together. I really did think something similar to this: Okay, I'm set. I can praise God's name now! I can really believe Psalm 56:9b!  

God is always, always for me, even "on the road marked with suffering".
