Charity Gayle's 'Benediction' is a prayerful blessing over the listener, asking for God's peace, love, and provision. It encourages believers to rest in Christ, extend grace to others, and serve humbly. The song emphasizes God as strength, healer, and protector, and closes with a release to live freely in the Spirit. Rooted in biblical benedictions like Numbers 6:24-26, it offers a calm, commissioning tone for sending out in faith.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
May the Lord grant You peace
May His love shine down, love shine down
And meet your every need
And keep your feet from stumbling
And fix your eyes on the mark, on the prize
As you go may you rest in Christ
Receive His grace to love all men
In spite of all our differences
May your words be filled with life
That crumble walls of fear and pride
Take up the cross to serve the least and the lost
As you go be the hands of God
'Cause He is your strength and your victory, yeah
He comes behind you and heals
He is the cup and the portion
Your banner and shield!
So be released, be blessed, be free
Live and move as the Spirit breathes
As you go, go with God, go in peace
