Lyrics
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD
(chorus)Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be the name of the Lord
The Lord gives and the Lord takes away
Blessed be the name of the Lord
I was a lonely man when you came into my life
And taught my heart your love song
And now I'm lonely once again, ever since you've gone
But the song goes on and on
And I wonder why He wanted it that way.
(chorus)
I thought I'd found security
In your arms surrounding me
And I thought that it was forever
Now the Lord is calling me
To give you up and set you free
So I must give back this sentimental token
And offer up to Jesus a heart that's been broken
(chorus)
