Blessed Be Your Name
Blessed be Your name! In times of flourishing and peaceful rest, When mercies flow like rivers at their best, Blessed be Your name!
Blessed be Your name! I wander through a wasteland, barren, wild, Your mighty deeds grow distant, unreconciled, Blessed be Your name!
Blessed be Your name! The sun has risen with a gentle light, A world clear-washed and gleaming, pure and bright, As children see the world— Blessed be Your name!
Blessed be Your name! When sobs I cannot hold back any more, On every road sign—symbols of this war, Blessed be Your name!
Your power and dominion are a blessing; To every mercy, every kind caressing, Grant that my heart respond with songs professing— Blessed be Your name!
And when the pain cuts through my soul with grief, Though darkness seeks to sweep away belief, I choose to praise You still, find in that relief— Blessed be Your name!
The Lord gives, and the Lord takes back again, Yet always constant, through both joy and pain: Let His name ever be praised by all men. Blessed be Your name!
