The Beatitude Poem
When Jesus saw the multitudes
he went up on the hill
taught them with encouraging words
with authority, compassion, Zeal
He spoke of the keys of his Kingdom
never heard by them before
"Blessed are the poor in spirit”,
After which, he said much more
He said that you’d be Blessed
for these ways that you should live
Then he said rejoice, be glad
what great a reward He’ll give
Let your light so shine before men
your good works to be seen
glorify your father in heav’n
for the kingdom is within
Many things that he did say
for he covered many topics
Many left in wonderment
astonished at his doctrine
The Secrets he so freely gave
that day upon the hill
keys of his kingdom,
to keep in your heart
by faith to do God’s will
Love, Compassion, Faith in God
were three he taught that day
Eternal treasures to be stored for now
Until our judgement day
