Parker Deal- The Kingdom of Heaven (Beatitudes) W/ Lyrics

The lyrics are as follows (and please read the rest of the description for the background of the song):

"Blessed are the poor
For they know their need
Blessed are those who mourn
For they'll be comforted indeed

And blessed are the humble (they will inherit the earth)
For justice, they are hungry and thirsty (God will quench their thirst)
Blessed are the merciful
For they will be shown mercy

Blessed are those whose hearts are clean of discrepancies
For they will see the face of God
Blessed are those who work for peace
For they will be called his children

And blessed are the humble (they will inherit the earth)
For justice, they are hungry and thirsty (God will quench their thirst)
Blessed are the merciful
For they will be shown mercy

Blessed are those who do what is right
And are hated and loathed and only in spite
For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven
For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven

Blessed are you when they lie and they say
All manners of evil for praising God's name
For yours is the Kingdom of Heaven"


This song is an interpretation of Matthew 5:3-12, the Beatitudes, part of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. In the NLT this passage reads:

3 "God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. 4 God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth. 6 God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied. 7 God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. 9 God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.
10 God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

11 "God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. 12 Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way.
