To have a song that really celebrates that reality has been really encouraging.

What's up, guys? Welcome to Five Minute Fatherhood. So there's a song that has just blown up in the Christian worship world.

It's called The Blessing. And I wanted to chat with you a little bit about this, Jeff.

It's by Elevation. They had a little snippet on, was that right? Elevation, the worship team.

Yeah, Elevation Worship, and then Kerry Job and Cody Carnes were kind of like guests on it as well.

But yeah, phenomenal song. Okay. Yeah, it's really cool. It's the first time I'd ever heard a worship song with the theme of a generational,

multi-generational blessing. Yeah. And I feel like when people started listening to this song,

it was interesting to me sometimes about when you're really feeling moved by, by music, especially that has worship lyrics,

um, oftentimes, you know, they're very similar themes, right? Um, and so there's lots of themes

that just get repeated in hymns and lots of themes to get repeated in, you know, sort of contemporary

worship. Um, this is just a new theme. And I think it kind of took people by surprise because, and they told the story a little bit about they got together and sort of collectively wrote this song. I just felt like it was almost given to them. But the thing that I found really encouraging about it, and some of the lyrics, if you guys haven't heard the song, I'd encourage you guys to look it up. It's really beautiful.

They do the ironic blessing from the Book of Numbers, Numbers Chapter 6, the ironic blessing.

And then after that, they say, may his favor be upon you in a thousand generations in your family and your children and their children and their children. And that's the theme of the song,

is this sort of three, four generational blessing that they just kind of like are praying.

And the thing that really struck me when I first heard the song and when I've listened

to it a lot since then is that they are touching a part of the heart of the father that

we have lost almost completely. And this is the

father's intention to demonstrate his favor by blessing your family for multiple generations.

And when you hear that and you, you, that sort of, you begin to understand that. Like, you're just overwhelmed by

the love of the Father, the favor of the Father, the goodness of God, and how the story is a

multi-generational story in that we are so caught up culturally in our individual story and so much

worship even is sort of about
