Blessed Be Your Name
Candi Pearson & Jonathan Shelton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of this song are centered on praise and worship of God in different seasons of life. The song begins with praising God as the provider of abundance, where the streams of abundance flow, and the land is plentiful. It continues to exalt God's name in every season of life: whether in the desert place or on the road marked with suffering, whether the sun is shining down or in darkness when the world seems to be falling apart. The message of the song is that in every season, every blessing, and every trial, God's name deserves to be blessed.
The lyrics of this song offer a reminder to Christians that God is worthy of praise in every situation. In seasons of abundance, we should praise Him for His provision, and in seasons of trials, we should praise Him because He is with us and will continue to bless us. The second verse of the song particularly highlights this by proclaiming that even in the midst of the pain of the offering, we should choose to say, "Blessed be Your name." The chorus repeats several times, emphasizing the importance of continually choosing to bless God's name, regardless of what we are going through.
