Vertical Worship has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Blessed.
The Beatitudes serve as the inspiration for this new track. Quoting Vertical Worship: “The first line of the sermon on the mount, ‘Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’ are words that we may be familiar with, but hold a profound invitation from Jesus. It is not those who have it all figured out, or have all the answers that will know more of His kingdom, but rather those who recognize their need of Him. And more of Him means more of His rule, His reign in my life. His law is love and He comes near with mercy.”
They continued, “So, quite simply, that’s where the song started, from a place of remembering, a place of trust that when we turn to Jesus, we gain more of Him. And more of Him means more of His presence, His peace, His love. For what does it matter to gain the whole world, but forfeit our soul? What a gift that we get to at any moment recognize our deep need for Jesus. And in recognizing, He draws so near to us and we get to know more of Him, that One who knows us full well.”
Lyrics:
Blessed is the poor in spirit
Blessed is the one in need
For every thirst and every hunger
You are everything
Blessed are the worn and weary
Blessed are the ones who grieve
In every moment unexpected
You are everything
To seek You is to find You
To know You is to want You
And I want nothing more than You
To see You is to love You
And I can’t believe I get to
I want nothing more than You
Blessed is the mercy giver
Blessed is the way of peace
I will trust Your heart and hand
You are everything
Take this world and give me Jesus
Take this life and give me Yours
In every season You are the blessing
Jesus You are my reward
