The Beatitudes (Psalms and Prayers)

Utter dependence

A soul needful of You

Lament separation

          Rue the divide

Know the heart’s sin

          With reflection to grieve

Humble beside You

In contrition to bow

Survey within, less on the out

          Ache for Thy will

Forgiveness unearned

          Share love in kind

A heart without blemish

          But only by faith

         

Seek peace with my Maker

          Then quiet with man

Shunned by this world

          Accept all with joy

Seasoned through trials

          The man to become       

A ray in the blackness

          Glory to God

Blessings unending

          Gifts of Thy love

Matthew 5:2-16    “Then He opened His mouth……”
