Blessed Be Your Name

Over the past 4 weeks my life has changed by an amount that I just can’t work out and my heart has been broken so much it hurts all the time, I have seen God’s love at work first hand and I have tried to show that love back. I know others have been affected much more than I have, and some lives have been changed so much it is just impossible to say and I will keep praying for those people. God has been at work in me and I am now thinking a little clearer and I believe I am a little stronger in my faith since September 10th 2006, though I do have lots of questions, I just don’t know what the questions are yet. Over the past month I have found a great comfort in my Church and being in the company of Christians and Worshipping God (though it is very, very, very hard to Worship at the moment) I have been very encouraged by the Worship song from Matt Redman “Blessed Be Your Name”, I love the version on the Devotion album by The Newsboys. If you do not know the song here are the Lyrics.

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 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
