who wrote the blessing

The song "The Blessing" was written by Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes, Chris Brown, and Steven Furtick. It is based on the Priestly Blessing from the scripture passage Numbers 6:22-27. The song was released in March 2020 just before the COVID-19 pandemic and quickly became widely popular. It was created during a late-night songwriting session described by Cody Carnes as a moment when they felt the presence of God inspiring the song. The song has since been recorded and performed worldwide, resonating with many as a message of comfort and hope during uncertain times.
