Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name oh Lord
Blessed be your name yeah
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name oh Lord

We come to worship the Lord tonight
We proclaim your righteousness in this great assembly
Your love reaches to the heavens
Blessed be your name

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

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
Blessed be your name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
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
Blessed be your name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Blessed be your name

Wooh, oh, oh
Blessed be your name
