videos have forced me to draw a different
conclusion. We, The Church, actually can set
aside our differences and motivated by a Holy
love for one another - work together!
“A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one
another.” John 13:34
And so, allow me to share yet another round
of five The Blessing “virtual choir” videos from
around the world. Each has its own particular
flavor and style, but as you watch, I hope you
can see the wonderful, unifying force of a
common desire to sing God’s blessing.
“THE NEW YORK BLESSING: 100 CHURCHES SINGING
A BLESSING OVER NEW YORK CITY”
Released on July 3rd, this The Blessing rendition
had already gathered over 157K views only 3
days later. It’s an especially important addition
to The Blessing “virtual choir” collection since
it is New York City that found itself at the
epicenter and bore so much of the Covid-19
assault on the USA. It also features a great
friend of the WMM family in Paul Baloche as
one of the vocalists and wonderfully includes
lines of the song in several different languages
to represent some of the major ethnic groups
that call NYC home.
“THE CELTIC BLESSING | CELTIC WORSHIP
& FRIENDS”
This video’s wonderful, distinctly Celtic flavor
takes full advantage of wonderfully arranged
and performed instrumentation. Released June
15th, it’s one of my favorites and might become
yours too!
“THE BLESSING AUSTRALIA - CHURCHES UNITE TO
SING THE BLESSING OVER AUSTRALIA”
I’m so pleased that The Church of my home
country has added their voices to the global
choir. Well done Aussies!
In addition to the many, many English versions
of The Blessing (that often include sections
of the song in other languages) there are
numerous renditions appearing that are entirely
in a language or languages other than English.
The video from France is excellent while one
example from India includes (and names!) 31
different languages!
