This song is taken directly from the words of Jesus, spoken in His Sermon on the Mount — one of the most profound teachings ever given.
Each verse echoes a blessing from Matthew 5: “Blessed are the poor in spirit… blessed are the peacemakers… blessed are the pure in heart.”
Blessed Are Those is a musical tribute to those who walk in humility, mercy, and faith — a celebration of the divine rewards promised to the faithful.
Set to a peaceful, reverent melody, it invites the listener to pause, reflect, and feel the deep spiritual comfort in every line.
The song’s simplicity is its strength — allowing the eternal words of Christ to speak directly to the soul.
From the Beatitudes of Jesus (Matthew 5:3–12, KJV)
Lyrics
Blessed are the poor in spirit:
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn:
For they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek:
For they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:
For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful:
For they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
For they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
For they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake:
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,
And shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
For great is your reward in heaven.
(Matthew 5:3–12 KJV)
