Elevation Worship - La Bendición (The Blessing) Lyrics
Lyrics
Dios te guarde
Y bendiga
Que extienda Su amor
Y te muestre favor
Dios te mire con agrado
Y te dé paz
Amén
Que te cubra con Su gracia
Hasta mil generaciones
Tu familia
Y tus hijos
Y sus hijos
Y sus hijos
Su presencia te acompañe
Dondequiera que tú vayas
Que te llene
Te rodee
Va contigo
Va contigo
De mañana, y de noche
En tu entrada y salida
En tu llanto
Y alegría
Él te ama
Él te ama

Meaning & Inspiration
"The Blessing (La Bendición)" by Elevation Worship, featuring Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes, arrived on March 6, 2020, a profound declaration of divine favor that resonated deeply in a world grappling with uncertainty. This powerful anthem is more than just a song; it is a direct invocation of the ancient Aaronic Blessing found in Numbers 6:24-26, transforming a biblical text into a vibrant, contemporary expression of faith. The song meticulously unpacks each facet of this priestly benediction, translating its timeless promises into relatable assurances for today's believer. The repeated refrain, "The Lord bless you and keep you," echoes God's protective covenant, reminding us of His constant, unwavering presence, much like the promise in Psalm 121:3-4, where the Lord is described as not slumbering nor sleeping in His watchful care over His people. The progression of the lyrics further emphasizes God's gracious disposition towards us, highlighting His face shining upon us and His favor, mirroring the cherishing love spoken of in Psalm 4:6, where many seek God's favor. The ultimate promise of His lifting His countenance and giving peace is a direct echo of God’s desire to grant shalom, a completeness and well-being that transcends mere absence of trouble, as promised in John 14:27 where Jesus leaves His peace with His disciples. The deliberate inclusion of Spanish in "La Bendición" not only broadens the song's reach but also underscores the universality of God's blessing, a grace extended to all nations and tongues, fulfilling the mandate in Matthew 28:19 to make disciples of all peoples. The song’s structure, building in intensity and communal participation, effectively draws the listener into a corporate act of receiving and affirming God's goodness. It is a masterful rendition that brings a foundational biblical promise to life, offering tangible hope and a powerful reminder of God's abundant, enduring favor in every season of life.
