From the recording Christ's Sermon In Song
In Matthew 5:3-12, Jesus tells us who is, or is going to be, Blessed... and His words may surprise you... you can follow right along in the Word of God, but here are the lyrics:
Lyrics
Blessed are the poor in spirit
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are they that mourn
For they shall be comforted
Blessed are the meek
For they shall inherit the earth
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness
For they shall be filled
They shall be filled
Blessed are the merciful
For they shall obtain mercy
Blessed are the pure in heart
For they shall see God
Blessed are the peace makers
For they shall be called the children of God
Blessed are they which are persecuted
For righteousness' sake
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are ye
When men shall revile you
And persecute you
And shall say all manner of evil
Against you falsely
For my sake
Rejoice and be exceeding glad
Rejoice and be exceeding glad
For great is your reward in heaven
For so persecuted they the prophets
Which were before you
Blessed are ye
When men shall revile you
And persecute you
And shall say all manner of evil
Against you falsely
For my sake
Rejoice and be exceeding glad
Rejoice and be exceeding glad
For great is your reward in heaven
For so persecuted they the prophets
Which were before you
