The poor in spirit: O how Jesus blessed them! The kingdom of heaven is theirs, He said. Those who mourn: O how Jesus blessed them! They shall be comforted, He said. O how Jesus blessed them: the humble – the meek. He said they shall inherit the earth. Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness: Jesus blessed them and said they shall be filled! Those who show mercy: O how Jesus blessed them! Mercy, said He, they shall be shown. The pure in heart: O how Jesus blessed them! Christ plainly said they shall see God! O how Jesus blessed them: those who make peace. He said they shall be called children of God! Those persecuted for the sake of righteousness, He said the kingdom of heaven is theirs! O the many blessings of Jesus Christ our Lord! Vocalist: Laura Doeden Words: Jerry Dan Deutschendorf Music: Jerry Dan Deutschendorf
