10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)

First, I'll start with a little Holy Yoga update.  I received my Training Manual on Monday, May 14th.  What a great birthday present!  Today they withdrew my deposit.  It's official (according to my bank account... hahaha).  I start  training on July 12th... it's only six weeks away.  I'm sure it will be here before I know it!  Right now I'm trying to get to 2-3 classes a week.  If you want to join me, let me know.  I typically go on Tuesday evenings, Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings.  I'm hoping to get some Friday mornings in this summer.  I applied for a grant through my church to help cover some of the other costs for training and then costs of childcare and yoga equipment.  I ask for prayers as they review my application.  I find out at the end of June/beginning of July if I get the grant.

Now, onto the title of the post...
10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman is one of my new favorite songs lately.  Every time it comes on the radio, I turn it up and belt it out!  I'm sure it's quite the sight for people when I'm sitting at a stoplight.  Since it's such a great song (in my opinion) I wanted to share the lyrics with you.  Here they are...

10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)

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 reasons
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
