God Blesses the Meek With Peace

The scriptures bring so much comfort
their promises so rewardingly full
blessing upon blessing piled up so high
this is for God's own who obey His rule

Those who live as the meek of the earth
truly displaying character of being such
God has promised a rich inheritance
for those that live truly in touch

The earth shall be their's no doubt
but also given will be still more
they will know peace in abundance
a peace so divine it'll make them soar

So the meek will know God's peace
eternally in substance and past time
meekness is such a godly virtue
being without it is an awful crime

(But the meek shall inherit the land
   and delight themselves in abundant peace.)
Psalm 37: 11(ESV)
