Blessed

Blessed are those who realize that without God man only dies

Blessed are the spiritually poor

Blessed are them who are heaven laden, God has promised to ease their burden

Blessed are those who call upon the Lord.

Blessed are the meek, the poor, know the Lord’s mercy is sure-

They shall receive what God has promised

Blessed are those whose great desire’s To do just what the Lord requires

They shall receive what God has promised

Blessed are those who make the peace for in God’s will they will increase

They shall be called God’s sons.

Blessed are those who feel others pain and go to the Lord when the hurt remains

Blessed for the victiory is won.

Blessed are those whose faith endures It shall make them safe, secure

Blessed are the merciful Mercy glorifies His name

And now his mercy you’ll obtain- the hungry anf thirsty shall be full

Blessed are ye when men revile you in his name you’ll be reconciled

Blessed and great is your reward

Blessed when they persecute you even if they execute you

Blessed are thoise who call upon the Lord!

Matthew 5

Anthony Foster 1975

An early attempt to write from scripture. The sermon on the mount has always fascinated me in its detail and straighforwardness.
