The Oslo Gospel Choir is conducted by Tore Aas, who compose most of the songs. The group's repertoire also includes traditional American gospel songs.
The people singing in the choir comes from various churches in Oslo. Apart from giving performances in Norway we are making a name for ourselves internationally. We have made a fair number of television appearances. The choir's goal is always the same: to preach the Gospel through music. Our style of music could be compared to black American gospel music. According to Tore Aas the music genre "will never be out of fashion. With its impulsive, dynamic and lively style we can easily compare it to classical music's timelessness. This style of music appeals to many people all over the world".

May His light always shine upon you
And be gracious unto you
May He always be present with you
And give you peace
May the Lord bless you and keep you
May His light always shine upon you

The lyrics then ask for the Lord's grace to be upon them, and for Him to always be present with them and give them peace. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the importance of these blessings and the desire for them to be continually present in the person's life.
The second verse speaks of the Lord's power and strength, which He will give to the person for the future. It references Jesus' invitation to come to Him with burdens and find rest. The lyrics also promise the Lord's protection and safety from dangers along the way, and His comfort in times of distress. The line, "For His grace is new each day," emphasizes the idea of daily renewal and being sustained by God's grace.
Overall, Blessing conveys a sense of comfort, hope, and trust in God's provision and protection. It's a beautiful prayer for someone to hear, and an encouraging reminder that the Lord is always present and available to us.

The verse is just like the biblical blessing,
May The Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
The bridge is:
He will give you force(power) to live in hope and
He have said: come to me those who struggle, and I will give you peace
He will keep you from all evil and give you strenght when you are weak
Despite of your betrayal his grace is new ever
