I'm Alive! // 10,000 Reasons

Hello blogosphere! Yes, I am, in fact, alive. I have survived the 14-day-almost-walking-pneumonia-bronchial-infection-apocalypse of 2012. I am back at work today and so excited to be feeling like myself again (minus the hacking cough that still lingers). 

I don't have too much to write about since I've been MIA over the past couple of weeks, but I wanted to share the lyrics of a song with you. This song has become especially close to my heart over the past couple of weeks. Every once in a while, it pops up on my Contemporary Christian Pandora Radio on my way to work and it blesses my heart oh so much. If you've never heard it, please Google and/or YouTube it. I promise, you'll be blessed.


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


[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

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

[Chorus]
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

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

[Chorus x2]
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

  4. Wow, so sorry to hear you were sick! Sounds awful! Something's going around the daycare where I work, I'm wondering if it's only a matter of time for me... I'm glad you're recovering, though! What a perfect song for challenging times : )
