Blessed Be Your Name

I like this song -- b/c it echoes what Job says, "Though he slay me, I will yet praise Him." But I really wish he would take it one step further to "I know my Redeemer lives." I wish the song would include our motivation for blessing God (otherwise, it begins to feel like a Zen Buddhist chant) -- which is that we have our eternal hope in Christ and that even now, nothing can separate us from the love of God. Another similar song, a hymn, is "It is Well with my Soul" -- and this song gives the reason why in subsequent verses -- b/c our sin debt has been paid in full by our Savior, Christ has regarded our helpless estate, and we look forward to being reunited with Him.
