Forever, Amen (Venables)

Here is the central and closing sections of "Forever, Amen" (Venables) played by the International Staff Band (BM Jonathan Evans) on Sunday 17th May 2026 in Chelmsford. This music was used as a postlude to morning worship and so this beautiful setting of "The Blessing" by Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes and Elevation Worship was the perfect way to conclude. The song uses words direct from scripture; the ancient Aaronic blessing from Numbers 6:24–26. The Lord bless you, and keep you Make His face shine upon you And be gracious to you The Lord turn His face toward you And give you peace. Before the song continues... May His favour be upon you And a thousand generations And your family and your children and their children and their children May His presence go before you And behind you and beside you All around you and within you He is with you, He is with you In the morning in the evening In coming and you going In your weeping and rejoicing He is for you, He is for you. Amen!
