Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the land that is plentiful
Ihen 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
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord 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
Every blessing you pour out You give and take away
I'll turn back to praise You give and take away
When the darkness closes in Lord My heart will choose to say
Still I will say Lord blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out You give and take away
I'll turn back to praise You give and take away
When the darkness closes in Lord My heart will choose to say
Still I will 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
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

The song begins with a call to bless the name of the Lord in times of plenty, when there is abundance and streams of blessings flow. This is followed by a recognition of the desert places in life, the wilderness and the suffering, where blessed be the name of the Lord is still proclaimed even in the midst of pain and struggle.
The chorus emphasizes the constant blessing and glory of God's name, both in times of joy and in times of sorrow. It acknowledges the ebb and flow of life, and the recognition that all good things come from God. The repetition of the phrase "You give and take away" expresses the understanding that life is not always easy, but that even in times of loss, the heart will choose to say "Lord blessed be your name."
The song emphasizes the turning of every blessing back to praise, and the recognition that regardless of what happens in life, the glory and praise of God should never cease.
