Blessed Are They Who Seek the Lord

Blessed are the poor in spirit.  
Theirs is God’s kingdom.
Many blessings from God… 
They shall receive them!

Blessed are they who mourn. 
 They shall be comforted.
In the loving arms of Jesus, 
they shall be well rested!

Blessed are the meek. 
 They shall inherit the earth.
They shall receive from Jesus. 
 A “brand new birth!”
 
Blessed are they who hunger for 
righteousness.  They shall be filled.
A desire to know more of God…
 has been instilled!

Blessed are the merciful.  God’s mercy
 they shall obtain.
As they’re an expression of Jesus’
 wonderful name!

Blessed are they with a pure heart. 
 They shall see God!
Though many in this world, 
may think they’re “odd.”
 
Blessed are those who are persecuted
 for God’s kingdom.
They share their testimony for Christ,
 to those who receive them!
 
Blessed are you when others persecute you
 and accuse you falsely.
Rejoice in the power of God! 
 He loves you most assuredly!
 
Rejoice that heaven shall one day
 be your reward!
So YOU can rule and reign
 with Jesus our lord!
 
Blessed are we who serve Christ. 
 The anointed one!
Blessed are God the father. 
 The Holy Spirit.   And the Son!
