Okay, another quick note. This is so freakishly God. I've sung this song at every Christian event i've been to within the last few weeks. (CLC, AFC, HBC, HBBS)

"Blessed Be Your Name"

Blessed be Your name 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

I'm guessing that when times are hard and even when times seem so good, I need to really focus my eyes on God, which I must admit, I haven't done. So it must be said that God is really the one to shine through in the midst of our turmoil and definitely in the midst of our joy.
