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

With that, most of the brave Scots are in N. America. (I’m a pre-rev 1730s descendent).

They formed the backbone of our nation! You may have read these wonderful books:

I think weapons and the will to use them work more than prayer… pray for the WILL to come back to defend themselves.

You need both, to make sure your weapons are true and your aim is just. There is a time and a place for everything,as even Jesus pointed out:

And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment.” And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And he said to them, “It is enough.” (Luke 22:35-38)
