The Blessing

In the May newsletter I shared a link to the new worship song, "The Blessing", which was released on March 20th, 2020 by Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes that was being performed by a virtual choir, which I thought was a unique concept. This song first starting playing on Christian radio on May 1st and has since become a hugely popular. During our current time of pandemic this song has become a phenomenon with virtual choirs around the world.

There are many versions currently online. In addition to many church choirs and individual performances, there are a variety of virtual choirs around the world publishing performances:

•      The Blessing -South Africa
•      The Blessing -Canada
•      The UK Blessing 
•      La Bendicion (Spanish)
•      The Hawaii Blessing  (some great photos)
•      The Malaysia Blessing
•      Der Herr segne dich (German)
•      The Blessing Zimbabwe
•      The  Blessing in Cantonese
•      The Blessing in Russian
•      The Blessing in Farsi
•      The Blessing in Korean
•      The Blessing in Hebrew
•      Kids from around the world

...and many, many more versions. This is an impressive listing since the song has only been out for a couple of months.  I believe that this is due to the power of the words that come straight out of the Scripture which we have heard many times:

"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."  

One of the most impressive versions is the Global Choir of singers from around the world. I hope you enjoy it.
