Lyrics

INTRO:

VERSE 1

Oh, blessed are the poor

For they receive the keys

To the kingdom of the Lord

Oh, blessed are those who mourn

For they inherit joy

And comfort with the dawn

Oh, blessed are the meek

For they will be first

and theirs becomes the earth

CHORUS

You mean every word you say

Still the same as yesterday

God you reign

God you reign

Take my pride and selfish ways

Restore in me a life of praise

Cause if I have You God

I have it all

VERSE 2

Oh, blessed are those who hunger

Blessed are those who thirst

To be by His side

Oh, those who give mercy

They shall receive,

The same from the Lord

Oh, blessed are the pure in heart

For they shall see God

CHORUS x2

BRIDGE

Take the earth and all its treasures

The sky and all its wonders

'Til I have You God

I only want You God

Throw away all my life's possessions

All my vain ambition

'Til I have You God

I only want You God

INTRO

VERSE 3

Oh, those who fight for peace

Are called to royalty

Welcomed by the king

Oh, those who face the pain

For righteousness sake

Heaven's crown awaits
