I live on opposite side of the Earth from this in the British isles . I find this very beautiful . That from one end of the earth to the other Christ is praised .Amen
This just gets better and better every time I hear and see it. First, it was after the lockdown for Covid-19 in 2019, and now. God is Great.
Love so many Christians fellas in NZ. My spirit is touched. God is with us NZ!
This moved me. I am a kiwi living in California, and have been struggling with my faith the past few years. But watching this I truly felt the presence and the love of God. Whoever put this together (Grant), ...thank you.
Thanks for your kind words Peter. You are very welcome. It was a team effort! I pray that you would know more of God's reality and love for you.
You are loved.
I'm not feeling well today and just watched this. Cried like a baby (or rather, a tired, unwell teenager). This is the love of Christ. Thank you so much.
One day we will sing and glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ together! Bless you all my brother & sisters in Christ from United States❤🌿⚘
God Bless New Zealand from your big brother Australia
🙏 🇦🇺 🇳🇿
God Bless Australia. From Aotearoa
those 4 tokos who all sung together, I could listen to them for days.
Im not crying.....your crying. When Kiwis come together like this. Its a beautiful thing. God Bless♥️🙏
God bless the church of New Zealand 🇳🇿! Beautiful
In no way do i want to cheapen this with my comment but I can imagine that a Golden Buzzer in Heaven is pressed and a YES from the Father Son and Holy Spirit is echoing .... beautiful beyond words .. thank you all involved .. the little baby on it's mum's shoulder and the toddler, so vulnerable in today's world... YES HE is for us ...young and old Amen
This song is so beautiful, it reminds me of when I was a little girl my Dad used to pray this blessing over me straight out of Numbers. Being born with a disability up until the age of 5 my parents prayed that I would walk, when that hadn’t happened by the age of five they just prayed God would make something beautiful out of my life which He has!
Awesome, Miriam! God bless you!
God bless you New Zealand, with love from London, England. One People, in Christ
I cry every time I hear this version. So beautiful, so touching & yet so powerful. God is Great!! Kiwi love & blessings from Oz.
Absolutely beautiful. I am not religious at all, but when I heard that 300 churches were joining to give a blessing to a country
I had to come and see. Very glad I did. The world needs unity in a big way, and nothing brings people together like music. From the very depths I thank you.
The joining in of Maori singers oh my! A small glimpse of the power and Beauty of Holiness when the Lord’s people, every tribe and every nation, gather in holy praise, worship and honor to OUR LORD & SAVIOR, KING JESUS! Even so, come Lord Jesus
Still so powerful after repeated viewing. Thank you NZ churches. Truly is a Blessing.
I have been searching for this, and the lord has blessed me to find it again after all those years...
I don’t ever cry, but this brought me to weeping as I was reminded that WE are the Bride of Christ. Thank you, and God bless.
Am I like the only Māori who just loves our beautiful Karanga, it always gave me goosebumps as a kid when our Kuia or Aunties always did one before entering the marae. Their voices were so beautifully haunting and powerful. I really do miss going to our whanau marae and just chilling out with the cousins and playing games like tag or singing waiata. I don’t miss doing the never ending dishes though. Been living in Australia too long ( nearing 15 years ), I sometimes forget how different it was being brought up as a kid back home in Aotearoa. Playing out on the street with the neighbor hood tamariki. No such things as cellphones, Ipads, Laptop, computer. There was tv though but we only use to watch like Mulan and The Lion King type of movies. I remember always waking my parents up in the middle of the night just to get them to rewind the those old time tapes for me so I can watch it again
Those are the good old days...cherish them ,embrace them🙏blessings
Nah youre not the only Maori who loves it 😀
This is hands down the best version. I am moved.
I haven't even been for me. But of Father God is for me who am I to say otherwise.
I'm not Maori, but the language is what makes this song so beautiful. I cry every time I hear this song, it just rises up, its such a prayer. I especially love the part at the end with the Maori man speaking his prayer. I'm also sure you're not alone in your love of this song. Arohanui 🥰
This song will always be the anthem for us who went thru the assault of hell, at every battle this prayer will be our banner.
I live in Charlotte, NC, USA where Kari Jobe, her husband and Pastor Furtick wrote this I am sure they had no idea it would be sung around the world but I have heard this in so many versions and in so many languages even in Arabic and Hebrew but folks this song in your native language and seeing all of God's denominations in your nation uniting together in worship to our Savior was anointed folks so anointed and my tears of joy just flowed. I hope and pray that everyone else who watches this can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit that will fall on on you while you listen and worship with this Holy band of singers. Gonna listen to it again so keep on praising His name and telling folks He most certainly is with us and for us. God bless all here.
Thanks so much. Bless you over in the USA!
And for all of us worldwide in these days of COVD19, He will never forsake us!
Blessings to you!!!
Amen! So powerful
I am not a Christian but recognize the presence of spirit and the complete presence in each one' s song ....the energy is so inclusive and healing.thankyou
FROM NEW CALEDONIA ; JESUS COME SOON. JESUS CHRIST BLESS AND KEEP YOU

Thank you for the richness of your voices and the love of your hearts.
I lived in NZ for 30 years and part of my heart is still with you.
God is among your people and H E was gracious to me while there.
Thank you for sharing this Blessing with me.
Jim Hamilton
Bless you Jim from Tairawhiti, Aotearoa
Beautiful Aotearoa and it's diverse yet unified culture. God defend NZ!
To be honest, this is the best ever version, you know why? Because everyone from Aotearoa is singing it wholeheartedly and it makes a huge move and impact on us. I’m not really a believer, but now I want to know more about Jesus and I know he wants to save me for I surrender to him right this minute. Thank you, New Zealand for you have been a blessing to my life. You’re the only country in the globe that’s making a huge difference! ❤️ Thanks from Toronto, Canada! God Bless 😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️
May God bless you Isabella.
Matthew chapter 28 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹⁸ And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and on Earth.
¹⁹ Go therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:
²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
“Hereby you can identify the Spirit of God: Every spirit (i.e. person) that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, is of God:”
- 1 John 4:2
“Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God.”
- 1 John 4:15 (KJV)
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.”
- Romans 10:9 (KJV)
Acts Chapter 16
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
"²⁹ Then he called for a light and ran in, and came trembling, and fell down in front of Paul and Silas,
³⁰ Then brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
³¹ And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
Isabella Sophia Ava-Leigh Harrington Bless you Isabella in the name of our Lord Jesus. Jeremiah 29:11-13.
Totally agree!
😭❤❤❤I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety nine and nine just persons which need no repentance.
Luke 15:7 King James Version
GOD BLESS YOU 💞🙏
I don't know how many times I've watched this now, but praise god for this waiata and all who helped make it reminding our nation where the focus should be during these times. Bless you all in Jesus name.
Where our focus should be every minute of every day. With Thanksgiving and Love… He is worthy!
Beautiful, stunning and awesome. Sending blessings to New Zealand from Ireland. God bless you all 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you, Kari! Blessings from New Zealand!
Blessings to you Kari from Tairawhiti, Aotearoa [NZ] 💙💙💙
As soon as I heard that trumpet and waiata I broke into tears! That's what a beautiful proclamation should sound like!! That's what the army of heaven sounds like
th-cam.com/video/VoLdKVoDSLA/w-d-xo.html
Acts 2:17 In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people" I feel that in this song!
The Lord is calling his children in. Repent and turn to Jesus while there is still time. He doesn't want any to perish. His coming is nigh.
Ma te Atua manaaki ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙂
Young people will dream dreams and prophesy. I felt this down in my spirit.
Hes closer than you think(IKNOW)
God bless you beloved.
I don't know you in person but God knows you well, and God show me a revelation about you, when I was going through your comment to observe things about your spiritual life.
while I was meditating, I saw a divine breakthrough in your life and I saw evil attack of the enemies manipulating on seizing your favour and to come against your hand work for you to be confused and lost hope. As I was praying the Lord reveal to me and instruct you to sow a seed into the lives of children suffering from leukemia in Mercy foundation,located Edo state,Nigeria, before the end of this month and let me know so I can join you in prayers deeply because he want to manifest his promises in your life and that of your family
Nobody should know about the seed is between you and God, you will testify to the Glory of God after you have done it if only you believe in him and do what he says Proverb (3:27;21:26;22:9 ,,Deu.28:1-5) you can contact the orphanage on their mail. Email:Mercyfoundation67@gmail.com) send your donation to them. You can also reach me on my WhatsApp +33751084809
God bless you.

Beautiful. Feel the Blessings and the togetherness to worship and honour HIM. Amen.
I was at work (Houston, Texas) and happened to see the thumbnail. I'm so proud. My workmates hated it so I turned it up to max and looped it for a good 4hr lol. How glorious!
Loved loved this. Covered by the Holy Spirit. All generations. Many people I knew. We sent it to our daughter who lives in North Carolina with her husband and three little boys. She just sobbed. Praise God for his covering for my children and their children.
이 곡을 커버한 많은 영상들을 보았지만.. 왜 뉴질랜드에서 만든 영상을 볼때마다 이리 눈물이 나는지.. 정말 기도하며 만든 것 같은 감동적인 찬양에 감사해요!
I've seen a lot of videos covering this song, but... Why do I cry so much every time I watch this song made in New Zealand? Thank you for the touching praise song!

Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you.

But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family.

WOOHOO!!!! 🙌🏽💓🥰☝🏽✝️🔥🕊😝👌🏽. POWERFUL!!! Loved the Salvos & the babies & Children THANKYOU MY KIWI BROTHERS & SISTERS!! AMEN!! 💝👑
We are a young family and for months and months, this song has captivated our children and us too. Our 16 month old son, actually started saying “amen” and singing along (one of his 1st words) this rendition is a true representation of the beauty of the Lord’s creation in all forms - people, nature, sound. The diversity is stunning, each face and each voice coming together like a true heavenly vibration. This is the heart of Christ. So gorgeous in every way. I shed tears of joy almost every time I watch it. ❤️✨🙌🏻
My son loves it too!!
I am a dutch/kiwi presently living in the Netherlands. Thank you, thank you thank you. I needed this today. I'm deeply touched. I miss my children and grandchildren so much. Hope, that's what this song gave me. Hope. ❤️🌷🇳🇿🇳🇱
Your children,grandchildren and great grandchildren for generations.Promised.
Yes, difficult times. Hope you can see them on zoom skype or something else! I am in Australia and miss my kids and family in the Netherlands!
@@thesoccerboy555 HI Greta. I understand your 'missing' them. My son lives in Australia and my daughter and son in New Zealand. They all have families and the rate the children are growing up, I am sadder than ever to miss so much more than intended. That's why I make videos of my life here, places I visit and such so that they can see and learn about the Netherlands and Europe. These videos can then be used as 'live ' photo albums voice and all. Take care. I am sure our families will reunite with us again one day and the reunion will be sweet. 🌷🇳🇿🇳🇱🙋♀️
We're so glad you were moved by the song - bless you in the Netherlands!
@@IamaDutch-Kiwi 💓💝
Absolutely lost it when the children joined in! Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. I so can't wait!
So did I!!! 😭😭😭
Bill English me too!
The actual Bill English???
Cos if so, I voted for you. Our country needed your leadership, and strong Christian values at the helm. Sorry we didn't get it :(
As a Maori Christian and fellow musician this is a phenomenal rendition of the song "The Blessing". Many blessings to Grant Norsworthy and his wife and all those involved in putting this together. What I loved about this kiwi version of the song is how it encapsulated all the different strands and tenets that is quintessentially Atearoa. From the land of Atearoa to the people of the land and to the different cultures and denominations scattered throughout new Zealand. To be honest I was deeply moved (teary eyed) and greatly humbled with a sense of falling to my knees (in my heart) before almighty God in worship and saying "Lord here I am" and then being willing to go in his name in taking the gospel to my people. I was not only greatly blessed by this song but also greatly encouraged and inspired in continuing to share my faith. I leave you with this thought "it is not those who are healed who need a physician but those who are sick"
Wow, thank you so much, Gary. We hoped and prayed we were moving towards all those goals when we worked on it... very humbling and rewarding to hear you say that we achieved them. God seems to be touching hearts through the song and there's no greater reward than that. Nga Mihi Nui.
Ae tika to korero. I cried tears of joy and hope. God defend NZ!
Hey Gary..?go in Grace,but as though the One has sent you but 'commissioned' you and us in acknowledging - preach this gospel but now, "to every creature"..selah.. David, Trinidad
Amen! Amen! To our GOD be all the glory, honor, and praise forevermore ... be greatly blessed more and more 💙Aotearoa💙 - Leandro here a Christian church pianist from the Philippines
So Agree 😇😇😇
Diolch yn fawr am Cymru. We have much love for New Zealand through rugby and other things, but it is such a blessing to sing this with you. We are all one in Christ. God bless you all!
Beautiful, powerful & moving. I visited NZ from the UK 6 years ago with my much loved late husband - we loved our visit. Blessings upon you & our world.
Glad you enjoyed it
New Zealand is the best country in the world - as their people. Bless you all
Be blessed from Germany sisters and brothers in Jesus hey-God bless New Zealand

Glory be to God! Thank you Lord, for each word, and each note sung, is your breath of life, orchestrated and anointed in a global movement that we cannot fathom & comprehend...yet reaches the entire body of Christ; a ministry in itself...where the heart is humbled & the soul surrenders...Our world-today circumstances do not define who we are...In the Team of 5 million - We are ONE❤️
Was moved to tears... tears of happiness knowing we have Jesus till eternity. Powerful singing and the part in Maori language sounds absolutely beautiful. God bless you and your family. Love from Sikkim.. India
Love and blessings to Sikkim...India from Aotearoa [NZ] 💙💙💙
Oh thank you all ....I hear this in my head ,all day and it keeps me cleansed while I do my work
Cannot stop wiping the tears from my grateful eyes. I’m Samoan and I would love to see my people “across the water” from you do this in our beautiful language as you did in yours. My church Calvary Church of Santa Ana in California did this recording a few months back and I was privileged to be a part of it but now I wish we had more people in it, including the children. A Blessing indeed, thank you so much!
Amen 🙏 love to all brothers and sisters in Christ. May the Lord Jesus keep us in His presence everyday until we see Him face to face 💛 Shalom
Wow as a Maori who was born n is living in Aussie (a M_ozzie - as my NZ cousins call me), for some reason that felt like home, really healing. Thank you for sharing God's love with me today.
Well, I guess that makes me an NZ_ozzie! You're very welcome
Cheryl, it's your true identity. ❤️
CHERYL, I THINK YOU CAUGHT PART OF WHAT THIS WORK INTENDS, AS THERE ARE STILL A MILLION KIWIS OUT THERE,THA THERE IS A HOME YOU CAME FROM. AND A PLACE OF WELCOME WHEN YOU COME HOME.
@@hazzachannel1 except that I am Australian, born in Aus. Australian mother, Maori/NZ Dad. There was something that felt like home, it resonated in my heart n prompted me to ask God. He revealed to me that it had to do with who I am.
The opening karanga, verse in Te Reo and the closing karakia make The Blessing Aotearoa so very special to our nation and unique all around the world. What a wonderful job everyone has done. May God's blessing always be upon Aotearoa.
Thank you, Vivien!
agreed! :D
Amen

@@maryehiobandeofficialpage5165 It has been the 'end times' for 2000ish years.
I don't even identify as Christian and it made me cry. I am a fiercely proud Kiwi though.
I am not ashamed to say ... I wept. That was beautiful. It triggered something in me, this year, this world ...and I wept and I praised God. HE is for you!
he is with you and for you Ian
Iain, I get emotional when I hear this song - every single time.
I literally broke down in tears
You weren't the only one,, praise the Lord God almighty,, Amen 🙏

I have watched and listened to many versions of The Blessing from countries all over the world, but this version truly touched my heart and resonated with my Spirit. You have created a true blessing and song of praise to our Lord. Thank you for so much for sharing this. You really touched the heart of this older sister in the USA. God Bless and keep you Always.

Here are the Kupu Māori (credit to Numbers, and David Tapene):
Ma Ihowa koe The Lord…
E manaaki e tiaki bless you and keep you
Tona mata e tiaho ki a koe …make his light to shine upon you
e atawhai ano hoki …and be gracious unto you
Ma Ihowa tona kanohi The Lord lift up the light of his..
e whakaara ki a koe …countenance upon you…
Kia tau ai ko te aiotanga …And give you Peace
Thanks for sharing! Thanks to David Tapene for his invaluable assistance.

Tears through this whole thing, how amazing to see all the churches and singers in the different countries come together to sing this. Just coming across it now, but so very beautiful. God bless and keep you all.
Bro, waited for eva! But man it was worth it --- hey New Zealanders, wake up ' this is what the church in Aotearoa looks like in 2020, tino ataahua.
"God defend New Zealand...." and rise up people of God, your salvation draws nigh!
So beautiful!! Multi-cultural people and multiple language combined in lifting up Our Heavenly Father as he intended us to do...as one!! 💖

My favourite is the girl who did opening of the song from Arise church and I love the Maori version too. God bless New Zealand!
Yeah me too
This girl Tamara has the voice of an angel. Amazing voice.
Ikr! From our school church I must say
A beautiful public display of unity much needed in our world at this time. I was deeply moved watching and listening in. Thank you to all the people who brought this together.....
Thanks for your kind words Andrew.
You have encouraged me today - when I really needed it. Across the Tasman, we are a sick society, and the churches seem too weak and powerless to be a witness to God. Please keep sharing and bring a breath of life and hope to us. Please. God keep you in every way you go.
Remember JESUS is within you, GOD BLESS AND STRENGTHEN YOU💞🇳🇿
🇳🇿🇦🇺💯 keep the faith,, Love from across the ditch,,ANZACs,, forever,,

So beautiful to hear this with the Maori tongue. Every tribe and tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord! Really blessed by this. Lotsa love from across the ditch in Oz. Xo
💕💞
Beautiful - regardless of being a believer or not it is wonderful to see such passion and the joy - the heartfelt prayer for all humanity 💕
What a beautiful song❤😊
This simply does not get old. It really is the best version of The Blessing (IMHO). I'd love to meet every single one of you and say thank you/ tena koe and to all of you, kena koutou (don't know how to get the accents, sorry). Thank you for your input, your passion, your praise, your energy - I can't pick out anyone in particular, as each one of you in your own, God-given, unique way is praising God, making up one powerful collective. AMEN!
