Blessing
Matt Redman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am, I'm a soul set free
Caught up in this mystery
Jesus, there is a hope I breathe
For You are in me, You are in me
Here I am with my chains undone
Caught up in Your victory
Singing songs of a higher love
For You are with me, You are with me
And we are ever praising You

You brought a blessing and the blessing was You, yeah, yeah
There was a treasure, and the treasure was You, yeah, yeah
Lord, we had nothing, now we have all things
We were the lost but found the truth
You brought a blessing
And the blessing was You

As I walk through the valley low
I will build a place of hope
Going on from strength to strength
For You are in me, You are in me
Nothing good do You withhold
From the one who walks Your way
I'd give it all for just one day
That You are with me, You are with me
Yes, we are ever praising You

You brought a blessing and the blessing was You, yeah, yeah
There was a treasure, and the treasure was You, yeah, yeah
Lord, we had nothing, now we have all things
We were the lost but found the truth
You brought a blessing
And the blessing was You
Oh, the blessing was You

Hearts can find no rest until they find You
You made us for Yourself and we will praise You
We will praise You

You brought a blessing and the blessing was You, yeah, yeah
There was a treasure, and the treasure was You, yeah, yeah
Lord, we had nothing, now we have all things
We were the lost but found the truth
You brought a blessing
And the blessing was You
Jesus, the blessing was You




Jesus, the blessing was You, You
Oh, Jesus, the blessing is You

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

You asked,ย โ€˜Whoย isย this who hides counsel without knowledge?โ€™
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4ย Listen, please, and let me speak;
You said,ย โ€˜I will question you, and you shall answer Me.โ€™
5ย โ€œI haveย heard of You by the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye sees You.
6ย Therefore Iย abhor[a]ย myself,
And repent in dust and ashes.โ€

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

Lyrics

Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentifulย 
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'llย 
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 sufferingย 
Though there's pain in the offeringย 
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out I'llย 
Turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord

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!
