The Beatitudes ( Matthew Chapter 5)
I am so glad the Holy Spirit impressed this song upon my heart. The Beatitudes are some of the most powerful words that Jesus spoke during his time on earth. They encompass, similar to Ecclesiastics, the whole duty of man. ‘Fear God and Keep his commandments”.
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Jesus went throughout all of Galilee teaching and healing all manner of disease
Sharing every blessing of love, mercy, compassion to all that he could reach
And when He saw the multitude, he went up on the mountainside
Sat down with the disciples and began to speak…
He said….
Blessed are the poor in spirit; the kingdom of heaven is theirs
Blessed are the ones who mourn; to them comfort will come
Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness; they shall be filled
Chorus
When your Beatitudes change my attitudes
Into a heart that’s filled with gratitude
I’ll be the salt of the earth, A city on the hill
Light for all men to see, God’s Glory revealed.
Verse 2:
Blessed are the merciful for mercy they’ll obtain
Blessed are the peacemakers; like sons of God they’ll reign
Blessed are the pure in heart, they shall see God
rejoice in persecution for great is their reward.
And we are Blessed (Blessed)
Blessed (Blessed)
Blessed (Blessed)
Blessed (Blessed)
Chorus
When your Beatitudes change my attitudes
Into a heart that’s filled with gratitude
I’ll be the salt of the earth, A city on the hill
Light for all men to see, God’s Glory revealed.
