Blessed Be the Name

Ooh, may the day perish on which I was born May the stars of its morning be dim Why is life given to the bitter of soul Or to those who stand in anger of Him? Oh, he pierces my heart and does not pity He breaks me with wound upon wound Remember I pray that You have made me like clay And You'll return me to dust again soon Oh, naked I came from my mother's womb And naked I shall return Oh, the Lord gave, the Lord has taken away Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be the name of the Lord He commands the sun and it does not rise And treads on the waves of the sea Yet how small a whisper we hear of Him For He is not a man, is He? That my words were written forever With pen and golden rod My Redeemer shall stand at last on the earth In my flesh, I shall see God Oh, naked I came from my mother's womb And naked I shall return Oh, the Lord gave, the Lord has taken away Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be the name of the Lord But now ask the beasts and they will tell you And the birds of the air and they will teach you Or the fish of the sea will explain it to you That the hand of the Lord has done this In whose hand is the life of every living thing And the flesh of all mankind Oh, naked I came from my mother's womb And naked I shall return Oh, the Lord gave, the Lord has taken away Blessed be the name of the Lord Oh, naked I came from my mother's womb And naked I shall return Oh, the Lord gave, the Lord has taken away Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be the name of the Lord...
