This song, 10,000 Reasons, puts a melody to the famous words, “Bless the Lord O’ my soul.” As soon as I start to sing Psalm 103 pops into my mind. “Bless YHVH, my soul! Everything in me, bless his holy name! Bless YHVH, my soul, and forget none of his benefits!” 10,000 Reasons brings a deep joy to my being that rises up in me until all I want to do is bless Yahweh for everything that is good, bad, beautiful and ugly in this life because without Him life would be unbearable. It wouldn’t matter if everything was good and beautiful, without Him it would all be vanity. It would all be empty beauty. It is because of Him and His goodness that life is worth living, that life is worth loving, that life is worth sharing. Sing with me today and let’s celebrate the goodness of our God and King, Lord Yahweh. Hallelu YAH!

10,000 Reasons Lyrics
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
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
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
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
*I know some people would dismiss this song because of the name used. However, it is a wonderful worship song and I just replace the name with Yahweh.
