More than 100 virtual choirs from nations and cities around the world have produced a phenomenon known as “The Blessing.”
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.
For the story behind “The Blessing,” read the article in Christianity Today.

The NEW YORK BLESSING
In 2020, New York City became the epicenter of the COVID19 virus killing over 25,000 people. Later, our streets were filled with rage, fear and frustration crying out for justice. But, the Church rose up united to Lament, Listen, Learn and Lead in this crisis.
From the epicenter of COVID-19, a prophetic song is rising from the heart of 100 churches in greater NY through 125 singers in 8 languages over the city of New York and to the world!
