Preschool Praise Team

On our camping trip this weekend, Terry and I were standing outside in the freezing howling wind trying to cook bacon and eggs for breakfast. Something I heard made me stop and smile. Stella was in the camper singing at the top of her lungs "You give and take away, you give and take awayayayay, My heart will choose to say, you give and take away!" She kept repeating that part over and over.

I asked her where she learned that song. She said she learned it from Mrs. Sandy at school. I taught her the rest of the words, and she went around singing it for a while. That tiny voice praising God was the highlight of my weekend. I'd like to think that's how God feels when I sing in my tiny voice to Him.

Blessed be Your name in the land that is plentiful

Where Your streams of abundance flow

Blessed be Your name

And blessed be Your name

when I’m found in the desert place

Though I walk through the wilderness

Blessed be your name

Every blessing You pour out I’ll turn back to praise

And when the darkness closes in Lord

Still I will say Blessed be the name of the Lord

Blessed be Your name

Blessed be the name of the Lord

Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name when the sun’s shining down on me

When the world’s “all as it should be”

Blessed be Your name

And blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering

Though there’s pain in the offering

Blessed be Your name

You give and take away

You give and take away

My heart will choose to say

Lord, blessed be Your name
