Blessed be Your Name

This morning as I was in the bedroom changing, I heard Ollie in his cubby (blanket draped over a chair) singing "You give and take away, you give and take away, you give and take away (repeat a few more times, maybe 20?)" and then finally he sings "Still, my heart will choose to say, Lord Blessed be Your Name"
And I was so encouraged. And it was so cute. So adorable. So gorgeous. This shrill little repetitive voice. He did eventually get to the point of the song.
My son's singing tells me to say "Lord Blessed be Your Name" even when i am in the wilderness.

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
