More than 100 virtual choirs from nations and cities around the world have produced a phenomenon known as “The Blessing.” The Pittsburgh “Blessing” was the first virtual production of this song.
The Citizen will post these multi-national and multi-lingual versions on a regular basis, most based on Numbers 6:24–26:
The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.
What started out as a crazy idea, turned into a powerful worship moment in our city. In less than 2 weeks, nearly 30 churches unified to sing a blessing over our city of Pittsburgh. This video was revealed during many of the Easter online services in churches across the city of Pittsburgh during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our desire was that it would be a blessing spoken over our homes and communities. Thanks to the many churches and individuals who made this happen. He is for you, Pittsburgh!
