This song is based on Matthew 5, the Beatitudes.
Verse 1
Blessed are those who are, in spirit ever poor
Bless the hungry righteous ones, along with those who mourn
Blessed are all the meek, and blessed the merciful
The pure in heart and peacemakers, and those who suffer for the Lord
Chorus
Theirs is the kingdom, theirs is the comfort
Their inheritance is sure
They will be filled, see God and his mercy
And be called children of our Lord
Verse 2
Blessed are those in pain, insulted for our God
Persecuted, lied against, and marching through the storm
Though evil rise against, and slander come around
Such did befall the prophet saints and all who’ve gone before
Chorus
Theirs is the kingdom, theirs is the comfort
Their inheritance is sure
They will be filled, see God and his mercy
And be called children of our Lord
Bridge
Rejoice and be glad
Rejoice and be glad
For great is your reward
You will be blessed
You will be blessed
His promises assured
