Lyrics The Blessing

The Blessing was inspired by a Biblical benediction from Numbers 6:24-26. It was written during a conference at Elevation Church in North Carolina, USA. Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes, who were attending the conference, collaborated with Steven Furtick and Chris Brown of Elevation Worship to write the song as a statement of faith and encouragement during uncertain times, notably during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 The Lord bless you and keep you
Make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you
The Lord turn His face toward you
And give you peace
The Lord bless you and keep you
Make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you
The Lord turn His face toward you
And give you peace

May His favor be upon you
And a thousand generations
And your family and your children
And their children and their children
May His favor be upon you

And your family and your children
And their children and their children
May His favor be upon you
And a thousand generations
And your family and your children
And their children and their children
May His favor be upon you
And a thousand generations
And your family and your children
And their children and their children
May His presence go before you
And behind you and beside you
All around you and within you
He is with you

In the morning, in the evening
In your coming and your going
In your weeping and rejoicing
He is for you
He is for you
He is for you He is for you
He is for you He is for you
He is for you He is for you
