I Praise Your Name

I often have trouble sleeping at night. Throughout the night, I clinch my teeth, wake up for no obvious reason, and sometimes I even have nightmares. I worry through the night about things that are so obviously out of my control. Today I am sitting at my father's house in St. Pete Florida. He is scheduled to have Triple Bypass Surgery on Monday. I have prayed about his health and I know that the Lord has it all under control, but I still worry.

So, this morning I got online and started looking for devotionals that might help me. I found a wonderful blog called While You Were Sleeping on http://proverbs31devotions.blogspot.com and it really helped me. It reminded me of a song that I sing with the choir at Claxton. I thought I might rehearse it here and it would help someone that might be going through the same thing.

I Bless Your Name by Selah

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 the Life, the Truth, the Way

We bless Your Name

We bless Your Name

Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
