The Blessing

It is easy to feel despair about the pandemic, the unjustified death of George Floyd, and the violent protests in our cities. But there is hope. John 3:17 reads, “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” God wants to bless us abundantly.

Recently, I was brought to tears of joy when I heard a new song by Elevation Worship called “The Blessing.” Churches in cities across the world have recorded the song and posted it on the Internet.

I hope that you will be blessed and your spirits lifted when you watch and hear “The Blessing” as recorded by Bay Area churches.
