John Waller Album: While I'm Waiting Track: Priestly Blessing
Priestly Blessing Lyrics
When the morning comes and the day begins I will go out in perfect peace And as the sun goes down and darkness comes around Unafraid I'll go to sleep Over the fathers and the mothers and the daughters and the sons we pray
Lord bless us and keep us Make Your face to shine upon us Raise Your countenance on us And give us peace oh God Lord bless us and keep us Make Your face to shine upon us Raise You countenance on us And give us peace Give us peace
Over all our days and thru all our paths may we not forget this truth Those who just believe you keep in perfect peace Those of age and those of youth Over the fathers and the mothers and the daughters and the sons we pray Bless us and keep us Make Your face to shine upon us Raise You countenance on us and give us peace Please God Bless us and keep us Make Your face to shine upon us Raise Your countenance on us and give us peace Give us peace Yeah O Lord
Song Description: "When I do a concert I always say a blessing over the people in the audience and one of the blessings I use is the "Priestly Blessing" (Numbers 6:23-37). My hope is that people will hear this blessing and take it home and have it in their hearts, to actively bless their children and spouse with it. I made a Chorus out of it and set it to music. I teach it to the audience at my concerts and have them sing it over each other. I think it is really powerful." - John Waller
