Robin Mark 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
And 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
And 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
And blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name

May Your name be praised and celebrated forever
In the land that is plentiful
Amidst abundance and prosperity
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Where Your blessings and favor are pouring out abundantly
And blessed be Your name
Once again, Your name is praised and exalted
When I'm found in the desert place
When I am struggling and feeling lost
Though I walk through the wilderness
Even though I am going through a difficult and trying experience
Every blessing You pour out
Every good thing that You provide
I'll turn back to praise
I will choose to offer gratitude and thanksgiving for Your provision
And when the darkness closes in, Lord
When trials and hardships befall me
Still I will say
Nonetheless, I will continue to declare
Blessed be the name of the Lord

When the sun's shining down on me
When things are going well and there is joy and happiness
When the world's all as it should be

Despite the fact that it requires sacrifice and may be painful
You give and take away
You provide blessings, but also allow suffering and take them away
My heart will choose to say
I will choose and commit to declaring
Lord, blessed be Your name
Lord, Your name be praised and lifted high

You are Bible blessed, passing on to us His words of truth in genuine praise. May God, bless you! Jesus sang praises at His last supper on earth before His crucifixion Psalms 113-118. There is a crown in Heaven awaiting all who share the gospel of Jesus Christ and a soul is saved (see below "THE GOSPEL BELIEVED SAVES "). 1 Thessalonians chapter 2:verse 19; Philippians chapter 4:verse 1. Another crown is awarded in Heaven to all who are ready for Christ's coming to call us and meet our Lord & Savior in the air (the Rapture) . The apostles and saints looked for Him in their time and their greeting to one another reflected it: "Maranatha" "HE COMES". Proofs: John chapter 14: verses 1-3; Titus chapter 2:verses 11-14; Romans chapter 5:verse 9; Rev. chapter 3:verse 10; 1 Thessalonians chapter 5:verse 9; The Crown: 1 Peter chapter 5:verse 4; 2 Timothy chapter 4:verse 8.
This praise resounds across the earth speaking "Jesus is Lord and only He saves".
2 Samuel chapter 22: Verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name."
God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world.
Mark chapter 16: Verse 15: And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
How can anyone hear the "good" news? Romans chapter 10: verse 17 Then faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God.
THE GOSPEL BELIEVED SAVES
Isaiah chapter 7: verse 14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, finally died and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day ! "HE IS RISEN" Matthew chapter 28: verse 6
Isaiah chapter 53: verse 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
(It is founded on God's love for man and woman God created)
John chapter 3: Verse 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans chapter 3: verse 23
" For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans chapter 6: verse 23
" Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.."John chapter 14.verse 6
"1 Corinthians chapter 15: verse 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
THE PAYMENT OF HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER! (the life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life)
" In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians chapter 1:verse 7
" And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John chapter 2: verse 2
Romans chapter 5:verse 8 ''But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him."
“For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians chapter 5:verse 21
Matthew chapter 26:verse 28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."
"And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Hebrews chapter 9:verse 22
SAVED! BY GOD'S GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE WE SAVED
Ephesians chapter 2:verse 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast.
Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rescue us from eternal death. Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in Him, trusting in His death and in the shedding of His blood as payment for All our sins, and His resurrection from the dead, SEE! (John chapter 20:verses 24-31) and we will be saved!
WHOSOEVER BELIEVES SHALL TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH
Romans 10:
9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart man believes in righteousness; And a confession by mouth is given for salvation.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
TO "DIE" IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST
Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John chapter 3: verse 16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer a conscious agonizing eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death" in a lake of fire. Revelation chapter 21: verse 8.
THE SURE "PEACE" IN JESUS CHRIST
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans chapter 5:verse 1
