Blessed Are You

Blessed are the poor in spirit;

The Kingdom is theirs.

Blessed are those who mourn;

Your comfort meets them there.

You gather every tear,

Lord,

As rain within Your hands.

Blessed are the meek and gentle;

The earth will be their land.

In every broken heart,

Lord,

Your mercy makes us whole;

You bind us like a shepherd

And lead our wounded souls.

Blessed are You, Lord Jesus;

Our hearts belong to You.

Your Kingdom is near;

Your promises are true.

When we are weak,

You make us strong;

When we are lost,

You lead us home.

Blessed are You,

Lord Jesus;

We are Yours and Yours alone.

Blessed are those who hunger

And thirst for righteousness;

Like dry and thirsty deserts,

We long for Your goodness.

You fill our longing souls,

Lord,

Like rivers in the sand;

Your mercy falls like morning dew,

Your holiness will stand.

Blessed are the merciful;

Your mercy will be shown.

Teach us to forgive with love And make Your mercy known.

Blessed are the pure in heart;

They will behold Your face.

Like dawn upon the mountains,

We seek Your shining grace.

Blessed are the peacemakers,

The children of Your grace.

Make us a gentle shelter

Where wounded hearts find place.

Teach us to bring peace,

Lord,

Where anger once has grown.

Let our lives reflect Your love And let Your light be shown.

When we are rejected,

When they speak against Your name,

When we suffer for Your Kingdom,

Keep our hearts from fear and shame.

You are with us in the darkness;

Your presence is our flame.

You are faithful through the pain;

Your love will never change.

Our reward is found in You,

Lord; Your Kingdom will remain.

Like a city on a hilltop,

Your light will never fade.

We will rejoice in You;

Our hope is found in You.

Through every trial, we will sing:

Your promises are true.

The Kingdom belongs to You;

All glory belongs to You.

With grateful hearts forever,

We will worship You.

Like rivers clap their hands,

Like morning skies turn gold,

We lift our praise to Jesus; Your faithfulness unfolds.

Blessed are You, Lord Jesus;

Our hearts belong to You.

Your Kingdom is near;

Your promises are true.

Through every tear and every trial,

You meet us with Your love.

You turn our night to morning;

You lift our eyes above.

Blessed are You, Lord Jesus;

Our treasure waits above.

Your Kingdom is near; Your promises are true.

Jesus, You are our hope; Jesus,

our reward is You.

Through every tear and every trial,

You meet us with Your love.

You gather every sorrow;

You make all things brand new.

Your Kingdom is forever.

Amen.
