Lyrics Blessed Be Your Name

Blessed Be Your Name was written by Matt and Beth Redman following the September 11, 2001 attacks. In a time of global devastation, they were inspired by Scripture, particularly the book of Job, to compose a song that expressed praise to God in all of lifes circumstances. 

 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

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

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
