This is another song that we've used in the past, but the way we're feeling today, it seems appropriate.
Blessed Be You Name has become Matt Redman's signature song. It even spawned a song by Matt and his wife Beth on the whole angle of worshipping God when you have every reason not to.
We're feeling a bit low today, but we'll recover. But our situation pales into insignificance with that of a close friend who is terminally ill. Each time we see him, we leave wondering if we will see him again. Yet through his illness, his faith in Christ has magnified.
That kind of faith inspires us. Our friend has chosen to praise God, even though he has a battle on his hands for his earthly life. So even though we feel today that we're on "the road marked with suffering" and that "there's pain in the offering", we choose to say this - Lord, blessed be Your name!
Have a blessed day!

an appropriate song would have been 'Flood' by Jars of Clay for us up here in the sunny BOP
It might be for us as well by the end of the day Ozy; or Day of Fire's Rain Song ...
