All aboooooard?
The Holy Spirit Express is
set to depart,
leaving behind what the world so values,
and headed for those God cherishes most.
Please, stand clear of all
closing doors.
Tickets, please!
First stop, Blessed are the
Poor in Spirit,
who know you need a savior,
the kingdom of heaven
is sure to be yours.
Blessed are Those Who Mourn,
who desire to repent, already
weeping for your crimson debt,
comfort will be found
in forgiven sin.
Blessed are Those Who are
Meek,
beyond heart kind, sweet in spirit,
you will inherit the earth
and rule alongside
the returning King.
Blessed are the Hungry and
Thirsty
for Righteousness, who so want
to be more like Jesus,
you will be fulfilled,
and so satsified.
Blessed are the Gracious
and Merciful,
who have it in them to spare
the pain others deserve,
you will be in turn
so spared.
Blessed are the Pure in
Heart,
hearts that chase God's own,
you will sure see Him
face to face.
Blessed are the Peacemakers,
seekers of harmony for all,
you will be called
sons of God.
And Blessed are the Persecuted
for
Righteousness' Sake, doing
what is morally right,
your reward in heaven
will be great.
But piteous are those who
board,
heartily welcome though you be,
who are rich in more than spirit,
who are quite comfortable,
who lean to wilful be,
whose stomach's full,
who tend to judge,
whose heart's divided,
who fold their arms,
and who've known
little trouble for what
they claim to believe,
Your train ride,
though not likely
to go off the rails,
May, in fact, have
a few extra depots
along the way.
Matthew 5:1-12 |
