A Message

It's been on my heart for a few days now to post the following lyrics by Casting Crowns, apparently there is someone that reads this blog that needs to know them. A lot of people that read this blog already know this song, because it's one that is sung at our church often, and it's also one that plays on the local Christian radio station. The message is for me, too, I've discovered, but even after I took it to heart, it was still on my heart to share it. So for those of you who don't know the song...

Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the 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

(CHORUS)
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

(CHORUS)

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