I Bless Your Name

There is a Selah song that really says it all. It's called "I Bless Your Name"

In prisoners' chains

with bleeding stripes

Paul and Silas prayed that night

And in their pain began to sing

Their chains were loosed

And they were free

I bless Your Name

I bless Your Name

I give You honor, give You praise

You are the Life, the Truth, the Way

I bless Your Name

I bless Your Name

Some midnight hour

If you should find

You're in a prison in your mind

Reach out and praise

Defy those chains

And they will fall

In Jesus' Name

We bless Your Name

We bless Your Name

We give You honor, give You praise

You are the Life, the Truth, the Way

We bless Your Name

We bless Your Name

You are te Life, the Truth, the Way

We bless Your Name

We bless Your Name

Nicole (from Selah) puts it so easily into words, she says, "It is so easy to wallow in the depths of negativity and fear, but priasing God, even when i'm not in a "praising mood," breaks through those chains by reminding meof the truthof who God is. Praise gets our minds off or ourselves and our problems, and breaks the chains of fear and doubt."

Her words are true, it is so easy to stay in that pit of sarrow, but when we praise the Lord...all those troubles just go away! But WE HAVE TO MAKE THE EFFORT AND DO IT!
