Dear Wendy and Brent,

Recently we went to a Stephen Curtis Chapman concert. (Don't tell BJU) You may know that their 5 yr old was accidentally killed in May. When Stephen walked on the stage I choked – and he hadn’t even said anything yet. With a grateful heart for America’s prayers he began to explain the difficulty of coming up with an opening song that would help us understand where his family was in their journey through this sorrow. He settled on Blessed Be Your Name.

Two years ago another family in our church, the Foshays, were trying to come up with the right funeral song to express their belief and sorrow when their son, Tim, was killed in a car accident after three tours in Iraq. God showed them this same song… a song that seems to minister to mourning parents… I pray that you can affirm this song with all your hearts in the days, weeks, months and years ahead. That, no matter what, you'd rather have Jesus than anything else.

Blessed Be Your Name

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



You give and take away

You give and take away

My heart will choose to say

Lord, blessed be Your name

May His love surround and comfort you. Greenville has never seemed so far from Maine as it does today. We love you all. Susan
