The Lord Bless You

[tempo: steady, joyful worship ~88 bpm]
[key suggestion: G or A]

⸻

[Verse 1: gentle, steady, light instrumentation]
Come and rest your weary heart
Lay your worries where you are
Every fear, every night you’ve cried
You are seen, you’re held inside

Let these words fall like rain
Not a song, but heaven’s name
Spoken softly, strong and true
This is God reaching for you

⸻

[Chorus: rise, open, hands-raised worship]
May the Lord bless you and keep you
May His face shine down on you
May He be gracious and give you peace
May His presence never leave

May the Lord turn His face toward you
May His favor rest on you
I speak hope, I speak life
[hold last note]
May His peace be yours tonight

⸻

[Verse 2: slightly stronger than verse 1, confident]
May His ways be known on earth
His salvation, what you’re worth
May the nations see His light
Through your days and through your nights

Let the peoples sing for joy
Every heart and every voice
For He governs just and kind
Faithful God for all mankind

⸻

[Chorus: full, joyful worship lift]
May the Lord bless you and keep you
May His face shine down on you
May He be gracious and give you peace
May His presence never leave

May the Lord turn His face toward you
May His favor rest on you
I speak hope, I speak life
[hold last note]
May His peace be yours tonight

⸻

[Bridge: drop instruments, soft and reverent]
May God be gracious, bless us all
Let His face upon us fall

[build gradually, confident joy]
So the world will know His way
And His saving grace displayed

[full but not loud, joyful declaration]
Let the land yield all its fruit
Every promise coming true
Let all people praise His name
Let the earth rejoice again

⸻

[Final Chorus - Declaration for “me”]:
May the Lord bless me and keep me
May His face shine down on me
May He be gracious and give me peace
May His presence never leave

May the Lord turn His face toward me
May His favor rest on me
I receive hope, I receive life

[hold last note]
May His peace be mine tonight

⸻

[Outro: soften, whispered reverence]
Amen
Amen
Amen
