I'm thankful for... songs and emotion

We sang (and sing often) this in church this week. This summer I wasn't surprised at the emotion this song evoked from me. 
But this time I wasn't expecting it and it caught me off guard. It's not a bad thing, and I don't feel "bad" about it- just surprised. 
This song brings me to tears and resonates with my heart- it expresses my desire (at the very least). I'm glad God's still working in me.

  Blessed Be Your Name In the land that is plentiful  Where Your 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
  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

Every blessing You pour out  I'll 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
