“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
   For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

But the proud and  evil

Spread  menace about like leaven.

They shall be comforted and blessed

Who mourn   their loss or sin

But woe to those who don’t acknowledge

The awful plight they’re in.

 

 Blessed are the meek,
 For they shall inherit the earth.

But those who scoff  at God’s commands

 Will  surely die  in their mirth.

 

 

Blessed are those  who thirst for righteousness,
 For they shall be filled.

But those who thirst for this world’s love

From this world will be thrilled.

 

Blessed are the merciful,
 For mercy they’ll obtain.

But The merciless and unforgiving

God’s condemnation  is their gain.

 

They shall see God

Whose heart is pure indeed

But those live for self alone

Cannot , will not, succeed.

 

Blessed are the peacemakers

For they’re children of God,

But those who walk in anger

 Fall on the path they’ve   trod.

 

 

 

 

Blessed are those

persecuted for righteousness’ sake’,

They’ll find themselves in heaven,

While  others regret their mistake.

 

 

 

   When you suffer for My sake, rejoice

  Your reward is  very great

But the enemies of God     must fear

And meet their awful fate !
