Blessed Be Your Name
Chris Lass 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, oh
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
God you give and take away
Oh you give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name, oh
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
You give and take away
God give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
God you give and take away
Oh you give and take away
But my heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
Oh you give and take away
God you give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name, oh
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
Chris Tomlin's "Blessed be Your Name" is a song that expresses gratitude to God, regardless of life's circumstances. It suggests that regardless of whether one is enjoying abundance or caught up in the bitterness of the desert, God deserves to be praised. The opening verse states that in the land of abundance, where streams of God's blessings continually flow, His name should be blessed. However, in the next verse, the songwriter notes that even in the desert season, when it feels like one is alone, lost, and not sure what to do next, He remains faithful, and His name should still be praised by every believer.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of praising God's name during every season of life, both good and bad. We are reminded that every blessing we receive is from God, and we should choose to praise Him even when darkness closes in. The bridge reassures believers that God gives and takes away what we have, but we will always choose to say, "Blessed be Your name" because He is worthy of all praise.
In conclusion, the song speaks to the theme of unwavering faith, even when going through tough times, and it affirms God's continuous presence in our lives. It encourages people to praise God no matter what they face, for He remains faithful always.
