Verse 1 – The Blessing Song
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
Theirs is heaven’s throne.
Blessed are the ones who mourn,
They will not weep alone.
Blessed are the meek and low,
They will inherit land.
Blessed are the hungry souls,
They’ll be filled by God’s own hand.
Chorus
Shine your light before the nations,
Like a city on a hill.
Let your love be seen by all,
Do the Father’s holy will.
You are salt upon the earth,
You are light that breaks the night.
Live in mercy, live in truth,
Walk in God’s eternal light.
Verse 2 – The Higher Way
Blessed are the merciful,
Mercy they’ll receive.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
God’s own face they’ll see.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
Children of God they’ll be.
Blessed are the persecuted ones,
Heaven’s kingdom theirs shall be.
Chorus
Shine your light before the nations,
Like a city on a hill.
Let your love be seen by all,
Do the Father’s holy will.
You are salt upon the earth,
You are light that breaks the night.
Live in mercy, live in truth,
Walk in God’s eternal light.
Bridge – The Call
Love your neighbor, love your foe,
Pray for those who bring you woe.
Turn your cheek, forgive, be kind,
In God’s love true peace you’ll find.
Final Chorus
Shine your light before the nations,
Like a city on a hill.
Let your love be seen by all,
Do the Father’s holy will.
Perfect love the Lord has shown,
Walk in mercy, not in strife.
Be like children of the Father,
In His kingdom find your life.
