[Intro - spoken]
He went up on the mountain.
And when He sat down, they came close.
[Verse - build]
Blessed are the ones
with empty hands raised
No crowns to polish
no names to make
Blessed are the ones
the world walks past
Heads bowed low
but their eyes still ask
Blessed are the hearts
that break, not harden
Tears fall down
like honest gardens
Blessed are the meek
who don’t fight to be seen
They inherit more
than the proud could dream
[Chorus - beat drop]
Blessed are the humble
for the kingdom is theirs
Blessed are the hungry
who know they need prayer
Not the prideful
not the praised
But the ones who kneel
and choose Your ways
Blessed are the humble
for the kingdom is theirs
[Verse - build]
Blessed are the ones
who hunger for right
Not comforted lies
but truth and light
Blessed are the merciful
when revenge feels fair
They loosen the chains
they refuse to wear
Blessed are the pure
when the world feels split
Single-hearted love
in a double-minded mess
Blessed are the peacemakers
walking the flame
Called sons of God
though they carry the blame
[Chorus - beat drop]
Blessed are the humble
for the kingdom is theirs
Blessed are the hungry
who know they need prayer
Not the prideful
not the praised
But the ones who kneel
and choose Your ways
Blessed are the humble
for the kingdom is theirs
[Bridge - build]
You call it blessing
when we let go
When strength is laid down
and mercy is chosen
Dependence over control
Surrender over pride
Your kingdom comes
when we stop trying to climb
[Final Chorus - beat drop, layered]
Blessed are the humble
for the kingdom is theirs
Blessed are the hungry
who trust You’re already there
Not the prideful
not the praised
But the ones who kneel
and choose Your ways
Blessed are the humble
for the kingdom is theirs
[Outro]
The kingdom is not taken
by power or demand
It’s given to the broken
who place their lives in Your hands
