Gilberto Barreto

(Oboe Introduction)

(Melody is guitar)
Blessed are the poor in spirit
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.

Blessed are the merciful
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers
for they will be called
Sons of God, sons of God.
Blessed are those
who are persecuted
because of righteousness
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you
when people insult you
persecute you and falsely say
all kinds of evil against you
because of Jesus, because of Jesus.
Rejoice and be glad,

because great is your
reward in heaven
for in the same way
they persecuted the prophets
who were before you.
Rejoice and be glad
Blessed are those
who are persecuted
because of righteousness
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

(Short oboe solo)

Blessed are those
who are persecuted
because of righteousness
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

(Final oboe solo)

Lovely, upbeat! I am preparing a lesson for jail on the Beatitudes. I usually like to incorporate a song. Short of memorizing it (not good at that :o) I'll try to take it in with me somehow.
