Inspired by the beatitudes Jesus lists in Matthew 5:1-12.
Beatitude - "a state of profound, holy joy"
Blessed are those stricken by grief
Their weeping plummets to the ground as seed
Knowing the garden where He too had prayed
Completely trampled but remaining unscathed
Blessed are those that are always starved
Not feasting to be filled but to hunger for His heart
Only these few will peer through the veil
His glory is inhaled as His love is exhaled
Blessed are the peace seekers
Who dare to look in the eyes of the miserable
They're acquainted with hate and cynics
They are warring for the untouchables
Blessed are the ineloquent
Their prayers are bursting life in barrenness
They are pressed yet can never be halted
But pressed and pressed and pressed
Blessed are those who've lost themselves
They don't consider their life their own
They'd relinquish anything for the kingdom
As their crowns are laid before the throne
