Blessed Be Your Name
Tim Hughes' song 'Blessed Be Your Name' is a worship anthem that declares praise to God in every circumstance, whether in times of abundance or in seasons of suffering and loss. The lyrics reflect a commitment to bless God's name even when walking through difficult 'desert places' or facing pain. Drawing from the biblical story of Job, the song emphasizes that God gives and takes away, yet the worshiper's heart chooses to say 'blessed be Your name.' It encourages believers to maintain faith and gratitude regardless of life's ups and downs.
Blessed be your name in the land that is plentiful
Where the 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
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be your name
