Words and Music: Naaman Wood and Bruce Benedict, 2015
lyrics
If you are poor and weak,
You are blessed;
God will give to you his kingdom.
If you lament and mourn,
You are blessed;
God will comfort all your grieving
If you are meek and mild,
You are blessed;
God will pour out all his riches.
If you are starved for right
You are blessed;
God will fill you with his goodness
CHORUS:
Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice in your God
If you are merciful,
You are blessed;
God will show you His great mercy.
If you are pure in heart,
You are blessed;
You will see the face of Yahweh.
CHORUS:
If you are filled with peace,
You are blessed;
God will make you his own children.
If you are pierced for good,
You are blessed;
God will give to you his kingdom.
Bridge:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
to the King of Kings And Lord of Lords
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
for the strangers here, the refugees
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
To those who died for Jesus Christ!
Alt Chorus:
Rejoice you persecuted
Rejoice you martyrs in his name
