Song Lyrics

This song has been running through my head lately:

"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"

**What beautiful words. They are so simple but so incredibly powerful. My favorite part is "my heart will CHOOSE to say". Even when we feel surrounded by darkness or when God takes things away, we choose to bless Him and praise Him. It's hard to get to the point where you want to praise God in the hard times instead of just when things are going your way, but I really believe that He will bless us even more when we are faithful and can praise in the trials.

I LOVE this song. I can't tell you how many times I sang this song after we lost our baby. What awesome truths!
