Blessed Be Your Name

On the way to work the other day this song began to play... and it just hit me! When I got to school I emailed my mom, sister, Abbey, and Kim this email:

I found myself encouraged on the way to school this morning. Thank you Kim for burning those Christian CDs for me. Funny thing is.. I am listening to WOW 5.. .and well, I have those CDs.. in the group that I can not find. This song really encouraged me this morning: Blessed Be Your Name. I havent really listened to Christian music since we got the VAN because it has no CD player...

I am putting all four of you on this email in the hopes that it will encourage you. Mom and BT, it just made me think of so many things we have been through.. I am bolding the ones that really affected me when thinking of our past 7 weeks. I love you mama and sister.

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

I hope this will bless you as it did me this morning. It is such a strong reminder that I truly need to continue worshiping him.. even though the deepest part of me does not want to.
