Michael W. Smith's song "The Blessing" is a worship piece based on the Aaronic blessing from Numbers 6:24-26. It asks for God's blessing, protection, and favor, and ends with a communal "Amen." The song is often used in church services and has become popular for its simple yet profound prayer-like lyrics.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Well, I certainly won't forget this night
May the Lord bless you and keep you
Make His face shine upon you
And be gracious unto you
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you
Favor, favor, favor, favor, favor
I pray this in the name of Yeshua
In Jesus name and all God's people said
Amen
