Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be
filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall seek God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
And blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
God of mercy, God of glory, master of the final story, come into my heart and make
me whole.
Heal my body, heal my mind, make me truly holy thine.
Heal my spirit, heal my very soul.
Holy Spirit, guide and teach me, open up my heart and reach me.
By your grace I know that you are mine.
God of beauty, God of grace, how I long to see your face.
How I long to see your glory shine.
Savior with divine compassion, mold me in your timeless fashion.
Creating me a heart that's pure and true.
Chasing me with tender mercies, make me into all I can be.
Teach me that my life is found in you.
God of Isaac, God of Jacob, God of Abraham and David.
Hear me when I call upon your name.
In you I put my hope and fear.
Save me from my dark despair.
Give me strength, Lord, help me start again.
Lord, in you I put my trust.
Even though I know I must.
Overcome this world and all my sin.
Father, help me overcome.
Through the blood of your dear Son.
By your grace I know that I will win.
Grab me now a new beginning.
Free from sorrow, free from sin.
God of love, give answer to my prayer.
Hold me in your arms today.
Never let me slip away.
Dispel my doubts and take away my fear.
In these days of mass deception.
Terror reigns in all directions.
As nations beat their plowshares into swords.
But Father, still I have no fear.
I know thy kingdom come is near.
The great and dreadful day of the Old Law.
Save my mother, save my father.
Save my sons and save my daughters.
Save my brothers and my sisters too.
Save your children from this strife.
Grant us all eternal life.
Call us now, Lord, draw us close to you.
O God the Father, God the Son.
I pray today thy will be done.
Not my will, O Lord, but yours alone.
In faith I ask in Jesus' name.
These things to which I now lay claim.
Until at last you come to take us home.
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen
asleep.
Least you sorrow as others who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again.
Even so God will bring with him those who sleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord.
That we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord.
Will by no means precede those who are asleep.
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout.
With the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God.
And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds.
To meet the Lord in the air.
And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words.
