Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your 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
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
Prepare for most like one of the hardest times in your life (if not the hardest). You will feel insecure, your self image will take a serious blow and it will be worse than imaginable. Grieve, it is ok to be hurt. It is ok to be real and show you are hurt (of course in the right way...I am sure you understand). But God has great things for you if you just turn to him. I know from experience. Think of this...God gives of us everything we need, and we need trials for growth. This is a gift and GOD WILL pull through if you turn to Him. His power is breathtaking, His beauty is like no other. He will give you something back that will fill the void in your heart that has recently been opened. It will be His love and it will be better than imaginable. I know it is so freakishly cliche in the serious Christian ring to hear things like this...it is said all the time yet I would say the majority (like myself) fail to completely follow it. But God will come through. He is there for you. And He has a love we cannot comprehend. Everything we know is finite yet His love is eternal...it is infinte, boundless, immeasurable. This time of your life will be hard, but you have a warrior on your side...He handled to cross...He can easily handle this.
It will get better, I promise.
