10,000 reasons


This song keeps showing up lately... Adoption conference, church, Family camp, radio... And each time I've felt the Lord whisper to me to number my ten thousand reasons...

"10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)"
Matt Redman


Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore

Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

Jesus, I'll worship Your holy name
Lord, I'll worship Your holy name

Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
Jesus, I'll worship Your holy name
I'll worship Your holy name

You are so inspirational! I love to read things like this...It is always important to see the silver lining, when things aren't going our way. Being thankful to HIM and the blessing that we do have are the beginning of good things to come. I sometimes just sit and thank GOD for everything beautiful in my life and the list goes on and on and on! It seems like then the blessings just keep coming. -KGarrison

I don't know why I stopped getting the email alert that lets me know when you post a blog...so I'm late in reading these. But great things to be thankful for! (Rub my belly!!!) xoxox
