John Leong Poet Rhyme

The Beatitudes 1

"Blessed are you when they abuse and persecute you,"
O' Lord, the trials i do go through;
but count me blessed as Thy prophets of old
singled out, but in the fold.

"Rejoice! and be exceedingly glad,"
no, i am sane, not truly mad!
to smile alive when abuses fly
needing patience in sorrows' guise.

"For great is your reward in Heaven,"
Amen, O' Lord, far from the heathen;
i just can't wait Lord, for that reward
so settle here, as the flames be hot.

"For so they persecuted the prophets of old,"
i am in bliss, not ever sold;
Thy words give me courage, making me bold
Thy love embrace me, never too cold.

So Lord, i treasure Thy words to heart
keeping me safe, making me smart;
never to mould, never to rut
but in His Hands, never to part.

Amen!

The Beatitudes in Matthew 5, states:
"Blessed are you when they abuse
and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil
falsely against you for My sake;
rejoice! and be exceedingly glad,
for great is your reward in Heaven;
for so they persecuted the prophets
of old before you."

Amen!
