Based on the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. Thanks to my wife for playing piano on the video and my daughter Renée for creating a dance for the bridge section.
Verse 1
What joy belongs to those who know their need for God!
For the kingdom of heaven opens wide to them.
What gladness comes to those who mourn with honest hearts!
For they will find divine comfort and peace.
Verse 2
What blessing rests on those whose strength is gentleness!
For they will receive the earth as their inheritance.
How satisfied are those who hunger for what's right!
For they will feast at wisdom's table.
Pre-chorus
How favored are the ones who show compassion!
For they will be shown compassion in return.
Chorus
What wonder awaits those with undivided hearts!
For their eyes will behold the face of God.
How celebrated are those who build bridges of peace!
For they will be called the children of the Most High.
Verse 3
How enriched are those who suffer for doing good!
For heaven's kingdom becomes their treasure.
How honoured when others mock and falsely accuse!
When they slander your name for following me.
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Bridge
So dance with unbridled joy—your reward outshines the stars!
For your path echoes those who spoke truth before you.
So dance with unbridled joy—your reward outshines the stars!
For your path echoes those who spoke truth before you.
