When the morning comes and the day begins
I will go out in perfect peace
And as the sun goes down and darkness comes around
Unafraid I'll go to sleep
Over the fathers and the mothers and the daughters and the sons we pray

Lord bless us and keep us
Make Your face to shine upon us
Raise Your countenance on us
And give us peace oh God
Lord bless us and keep us
Make Your face to shine upon us
Raise You countenance on us
And give us peace
Give us peace

Over all our days and thru all our paths may we not forget this truth
Those who just believe you keep in perfect peace
Those of age and those of youth
Over the fathers and the mothers and the daughters and the sons we pray
Bless us and keep us
Make Your face to shine upon us
Raise You countenance on us and give us peace
Please God
Bless us and keep us
Make Your face to shine upon us
Raise Your countenance on us and give us peace
Give us peace
Yeah O Lord

Give us peace

Behind the Song:
"When I do a concert I always say a blessing over the people in the audience and one of the blessings I use is the “Priestly Blessing” (Numbers 6:23-37). My hope is that people will hear this blessing and take it home and have it in their hearts, to actively bless their children and spouse with it. I made a chorus out of it and set it to music. I teach it to the audience at my concerts and have them sing it over each other. I think it is really powerful." - John Waller
