The LORD bless you, the LORD make His face shine on you…

When our daughters were just children, many evenings I would sing to them this song by Michael Card –

“The LORD bless you and keep you, the LORD make His face shine on you… And give you peace… and give you peace… and give you peace… forever.”

And then the words would repeat over and over and over again, until our daughters eye lids went down like the sails of boat and they were off into a deep sleep.

That song is based on words from Numbers 6:24-26 –

“The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ’

Recently I found a new version of that song sung by Andrew Peterson, a talented Christian musician who my dear friend (Doug) introduced me to a number of months ago. I past the song onto my now grown children – Bethany and Kenny, and Meredith and her boyfriend Alex. It is a great song to go to sleep on and it is great song to bless your children or anyone with.

You should be able to find it on the song list to the left of this page and you should be able to listen to it. And by the way, may Numbers 6:24-26 apply to your and your family and friends’ lives.
