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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
💡 Song Meaning & Background
Released by Matt Redman in 2012, "10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)" is a contemporary Christian worship song that encourages believers to offer perpetual praise and gratitude to God regardless of their life circumstances. Drawing heavy inspiration from the Psalms—particularly Psalm 103, which opens with the command to "Bless the Lord, O my soul"—the lyrics reflect on themes of divine mercy, unfailing love, and the limits of human mortality compared to eternal worship.
