Words of
Encouragement & Hope
Submitted by Linda White
There is a song called The Blessing that came out in March of this year by
Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes. I hear it whenever I’m out driving on a trip to the store, going to the doctor’s office, or taking Bill to a chemo appointment. It is
a song that lifts my spirit, reassures me that God is never far from me. I printed the lyrics so I can read them anytime I feel the need to be strengthened.
The song begins with familiar words.
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. Amen
This repeats two more times and continues with the following blessings.
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, He is with you.
In the morning, in the evening,
In your coming, and your going
In your weeping, and rejoicing
His is for you, He is for you.
Amen
May you be blessed by these words as I am as we live through the COVID-19 restrictions and know that God is with us always. You can go to youtube and put in the title of the song or just google the song title to hear this very worshipful song.
Blessings,
