Blessed Be the Name Songtext
von West Coast Baptist College

As the sun rose that morning on the day of Job′s trials
He rose up to serve God as any other day
Bound and determined to live in God's favor
And nothing would stand in his way

Then the messengers came one by one with their story
In just a few moments, Job lost all he had
Great wealth and riches and the health of his body
And even his children were dead

The Lord giveth, He taketh away
Blessed be the name of the Lord
I served Him before and I′ll serve Him today
Blessed be the name of the Lord


Job's wife came before him to voice her opinion
She said, "You should end this, just curse God and die"
Job rose from the ashes and looked toward the heavens
He brushed back the tears in his eyes

He said, "The Lord giveth, He taketh away"
Blessed be the name of the Lord
I served him before and I'll serve Him today
Blessed be the name of the Lord

When troubles come suddenly, blessed be the name
When strong winds blow violently, blessed be the name
When Satan comes oppressing me, blessed be the name
I′ll still serve God faithfully, blessed be the name

The Lord he giveth, He taketh away
Blessed be the name of the Lord
I served him before and I′ll serve Him today
Blessed be the name, blessed be the name
Blessed be the name of the Lord

The Lord
