Blessed Be Your Name by Matt Redman

This has to be one of my favourite 'church songs' except we don't sing it at my church up here which is a great shame.  Based on yesterday's Bible verse from Job, it highlights the reality of following Christ in this world, and shows me that I both fail to praise God in the good times and the bad.  We had this song at our wedding because it emphasised our vows to each other as well as to God....to follow and praise him and stick with each other whatever may come our way.

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

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
