Lyrics
Verse 1Blessed are the broken souls,The ones the world would leave behind.They carry heaven in their bones,The kingdom's theirs—by love defined.
Blessed are the hearts that mourn,They’ll find the arms of God are near.Through every night, a light is born,And joy will rise from every tear.
ChorusOh, the world may call them foolish,But Your words say they are gold.In the hunger, in the hurting,It’s Your promise they will hold.From the mountain, mercy thundered—Grace for every battle scar.You turn the world right-side-up, Lord,Through the ones You call blessed are.
Verse 2Blessed are the meek and mild,They’ll dance upon the promised land.Not by force, but undefiled,With gentle strength and open hands.
Blessed are the ones who thirstFor justice rolling like a stream.They’ll drink the cup You offered first,And wake within a righteous dream.
(Repeat Chorus)
BridgeBlessed are the merciful,They’ll find mercy running free.Blessed are the hearts made pure,For Your face is what they’ll see.Blessed are the peacemakers,Not afraid to take the hit—They’re the children of the Father,And the fire You’ve lit.
Verse 3Blessed are the ones reviled,For standing firm and speaking true.Their crown is heavy, but it shines—And all of heaven sings with You.
Final ChorusOh, the world may never see it,But the Kingdom’s in their hands.Every wound will turn to gloryAs they rise where justice stands.You are near to every sufferer,And You know just who they are.You lift the lowly, love the humble—You call them all blessed are.
OutroYou call them all blessed are...And so You call me too.
