Blessed Be Your Name was written by songwriter and worship leader Matt Redman and his wife, Beth. Matt Redman shares more about the story behind the song in his book Blessed Be Your Name. Here is an excerpt from chapter two, “The Road Marked with Suffering”:
On September 15, 2001, we flew into L.A....
[Verse 1]
Blessed be Your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
[Verse 2]
Blessed be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be Your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
[Chorus]
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
And when the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
[Chorus]
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name, oh
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name, oh
[Bridge]
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 (Blessed be Your name)
You give and take away
You give and take away (Oh, blessed be Your name)
My heart will choose to say (Oh)
Lord, blessed be Your name (Oh)
[Chorus]
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name (I found a way to say)
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name (Oh)
[Post-Chorus]
Blessed be the name of the Lord
From the rising of the sun to the setting of the same
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
[Outro]
Blessed be Your name
From the risin' of the sun over us
To the setting of the same
Though there's pain in the offering
Oh, blessed be Your name
Blessed be, blessed be, blessed be
Your holy name
