Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blessed Be Your Name
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
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 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 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

Job was having an inferior revelation that was not from God. Look at Job 42 : 3 to 6.
(Job’s Repentance and Restoration)

You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4 Listen, please, and let me speak;
You said, ‘I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’
5 “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye sees You.
6 Therefore I abhor[a] myself,
And repent in dust and ashes.”

The bottom line is 'Jesus will never take away your blessings'

When I lift my hands I can feel the Holy Spirit. Jesus saved me when I was a baby I had hydrocephalus 3 brain surgeries and a stroke by the time I was 5 months old I was a really bad kid. A horrible teenager and an even worse adult I was wicked. In Oct I was reborn and I want to live to serve Jesus for the rest of my life !Hes my best everything!

@lindarose7475

God bless you and give you a whole new life ❤🎉

@abbeylane1691

@@lindarose7475 thank you! I am surely truly a miracle twice in one lifetime, I just don’t really know my purpose or feel that I will ever be loved by a man on Earth.

@craigj.davies1983

I converted to Christianity from Paganism whilst I was in hospital fighting for my life in February 2012, thank you Lord, your death saved me.
