about

(Matthew 5)

lyrics

(Matthew 5)

Blessed are the poor in spirit
for the kingdom’s yours
Blessed are the ones who mourn
for they will all be comforted
Blessed are the meek for their
 inheritance is Earth
Blessed are the ones who thirst for justice
for they will be filled


What a great reward
for disciples of the Lord
The insulted and the weak
are not unseen
Come, rejoice, be glad
for your future hope is safe
and the Champion of your faith
has called you 'Blessed'

Blessed are the merciful
for mercy will be shown
Blessed are the pure in heart
their eyes will soon behold their God
Blessed are the makers of the peace, 

you Sons of God
Blessed are the persecuted
for the cause of Jesus

What a great reward
for disciples of the Lord
The insulted and the weak
are not unseen
Come, rejoice, be glad
for your future hope is safe
and the Champion of your faith
has called you 'Blessed'

Blessed are the ones who suffer
for the sake of love
Didn't they oppress the prophets
that have gone before you?
Blessed are the ones who seem to lose
for they have won
You will have the greatest prize - 
the presence of the living God!

What a great reward
for disciples of the Lord
The insulted and the weak
are not unseen
Come, rejoice, be glad
for your future hope is safe
and the Champion of your faith
has called you 'Blessed'

Come, rejoice, be glad
for your future hope is safe
and the Champion of your faith
has called you 'Blessed'
