Blessed Is the Man

Blessed is the man who walks the path
Apart from sin and strife,
Who honors God both day and night
Offering Him his life.

Blessed is the man who listens not
To evil words men say,
But hears instead the Word of God
Desiring to obey.

Blessed is the man who judges not
When others fall to sin,
He remembers it's Grace from God
That cleanses him within.

The Lord is pleased with men like this
And never will delay,
To send them strength and courage
And blessings day by day.
