Blessed Be Your Name

The song ¨Blessed be Your Name¨ was written by Matt and Beth Redman soon after 9/11. Matt and his wife were scheduled to leave for the US on September 12, but they had to wait until international flights resumed before coming over from England. The song was written in response to what Matt and his wife saw here in the US after this tragedy and as a simple worship offering about choosing to worship and trust God no matter what the season. 

My references comes from an article in Christianity Today titled How Christian Leader Have Changed Since 9/11, September 2011, Vol. 55, No. 9.

Scripture References for the song are Genesis 14:20, Psalms 9:1-2 (Worshiptogether.com)
