The Wayfarer

A Wayfarer is a person who is traveling through......life, a particular place, a circumstance, a stage of life, etc. We, as Christians are traveling through this life of faith on the way to Heaven, like Little Christian in Pilgrim's Progress. So, join us as we blog about some of our paths like: adoption, siblings, adoption information, Ethiopia, Aspergers, family life and our spiritual journey of faith as Christians. If you are interested in a specific type of post you should be able to search this blog for any of these topics. We are happy to have you along for the journey. If all this interests you please either subscribe to our blog below or become a follower and show your picture in the friends link. Thanks... and welcome to the journey.

Blessed Be Your Name by Tree 63

Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name

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 turn back to praise
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

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
