The Blessing UK — At this unique and challenging time in the United Kingdom over 65 churches and movements, representing hundreds of others, have come together online to sing a blessing over our land. Standing together as one, our desire is that this song will fill you with hope and encourage you.
But the church is not simply singing a blessing, each day we're looking to practically be a blessing. Many of the churches included in this song have assisted with supplying over 400,000 meals to the most vulnerable and isolated in our nation since COVID-19 lockdown began. This alongside phone calls to the isolated, pharmacy delivery drops and hot meals to the NHS frontline hospital staff.
Our buildings may be closed but the church is very much alive!
A number of the churches involved include: Alive Church Lincoln All Souls Langham Place !Audacious Manchester Belhaven Parish Church of Scotland Bridge Church Methodist Cornwall Catalyst Vineyard Aberdeen Causeway Coast Vineyard Northern Ireland CFC Belfast Christ Church Tonbridge City Church Newcastle City Gates Romford CLM Coventry Elim Church UK Emmanuel Brighton Emmaus Road Guilford Gas Street Church Birmingham Global Generation Church Hackney Church Harbour Church Portsmouth Hillsong Bermondsey Hillsong London Holland Road Baptist Church Brighton Holy Trinity Brompton London Hoole Baptist Church Hope City Church UK Jesus House London Lagoinha London Church Life Church Bradford Love Church Bournemouth Kerith Community Church Bracknell KINGDOM CHOIR Kingdom Faith Church Crawley KingsGate Peterborough KXC London Naujavan New Wine UK One Hope Project Catholic Charismatic Renewal Pattern Church Swindon Pioneer Network Redeemed Christian Church of God UK Regent Hall Salvation Army Renewal Solihull Soul Church Norwich Soul Survivor Watford Sound of Wales Sounds of New Wine Southampton Lighthouse International Church St. Aldates Oxford St George’s Church Gateshead St Mark’s Coventry St. Nicholas Bristol St. Paul’s and St. George’s Edinburgh St. Peter’s Brighton St. Peter’s Brockley St.Thomas Norwich St. Thomas Crookes Sheffield St. Werburgh’s Derby Symphony The Coptic Orthodox Church The Liberty Church London The Space London Trent Vineyard Nottingham Trinity Church Nottingham Vinelife Church Manchester Woodlands Church Bristol Worship for Everyone

Lyrics:
Verse — 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 As we receive, we agree, amen
Chorus — Amen, amen, amen
Bridge — 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
Original Song “The Blessing” by Cody Carnes, Kari Jobe and Elevation Worship. Written by Chris Brown, Cody Carnes, Kari Jobe and Steven Furtick

The "Come Get Some" song...
Poor young lady. I hope her actions spur some REAL action on the part of the adults in the UK.
While I realize that this post came on a Sunday in the midst of a national holiday, I’m appalled that it received so few hits so far. Prayer and a heartfelt return to Christian belief are the only things that can save the UK, and Europe. I hope this sung worship catches fire not just there, but everywhere.
Ping-a-rooney!
Please share it in your churches and groups, small and large!
I will listen to it, thank you.
I wish and pray Scotland has a speedy recovery.
With that, most of the brave Scots are in N. America. (I’m a pre-rev 1730s descendent).
*BUMP*
Listening.
The UK most definitely needs blessings and prayers now. I pray that they will be delivered from the moslem invaders and from the politicians who are determined to destroy Western Civilization.
Amen.
Ping!
I probably should’ve abbreviated the information from the link. People may not have realized exactly what it was.
Indeed, but the number of Christians here seems to be decreasing.
Thank you. The Lord’s blessings are needed for the UK and all of us.
Thank you for your post alert
That was beautiful. Thank you for the ping!
Thank you for posting. Beautiful ❣️
Kari Jobe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp6aygmvzM4) did that song a few years ago - It is wonderful and such a blessing - What a great idea to sing it over a country. Our school sand this song at Easter once with sign language - it was breathtaking To God be all the glory
Thank you for the ping. Love this.
The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.Some other wonderful musical settings are heard too:
