In abundance or want/in comfort or suffering....

Just a quick note tonight. I've been out of town so I missed a couple of days posting. We sang this praise song at church Sunday morning and I've been thinking about it ever since....beautiful song....made even more meaningful by recent questions regarding my health which were answered this past week with some medical tests....what a relief to find that all is well....I could have been in a desert place but have found that 'the world’s “all as it should be”'.....



Blessed Be Your Name
Written by Beth Redman/Matt Redman

Blessed be Your name in the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
And 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
And 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
And 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
