Blessed Be Your Name
by Matt Redman
- - -
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

Okay I admit it I am totally addicted to the show Grey's Anatomy. I started watching it about half way through last season and have caught up on all the episodes I haven't seen through the re-runs. I think I only missed one or two episodes. This show is so well made. The writing and acting on this show is above and beyond. I think my biggest draw to it is how well done the character development is. Needless to say September 21st is in my calendar for the season premier. I get all teary at the commercial they are running right now with clips from the season finally. What a girl! Gotta love me some George though!

TO BE COMPLETELY STEREOTYPICAL, WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE MOST ANNOYING THING ABOUT GUYS?: How they act when there are two or more of them together….Completely different than how they are when they are just with you. They get stupid in groups….

Girls Night out was a blast.

I love laughing and having fun with the girls. I wish I got to do it more often! I am really looking forward to seeing Ellen on Wednesday. I hope getting there when line ups start will get us in. I will be so bummed to end up in the Riff Raff room after looking forward to it for so long. The day together will probably be how Nick and I celebrate our 5 year anniversary this year.
