Blessed be the name of the Lord.

If I laugh or I cry, bless your name, bless your name

If I live or I die bless your name!

When Iím weak or Iím strong, bless your name, bless your name

Blessed be the name of the Lord!

When I wake I arise for your sake

When I sleep I pray the Lord My soul to keep

Day by day as I live and work and pray

I will bless the name, the name above all names.

When Iím rich or Iím poor I will always be sure

If Iím sick or Iím well of your fame I will tell.

If I lose or I win I will praise you again

I will bless the name above all names.

The Lord gives and he surely takes away.

A man lives made to worship and to praise

When Iím faced by what I cannot afford

Your name will always be adored.

Blessed be the name- from age to age the same

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Lord you have given and have taken away

Blessed be your name- nothing is in vain.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Lord you have given and have taken away

Blessed be your name- nothing is in vain.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.
