"WORDS FROM THE MOUNTAIN"

Verse 1
When Jesus saw the multitudes pressing upon Him,
He climbed up the mountain, away from the crowd,
And when He was set, His disciples came to Him.
We heard these Words as He opened His mouth!

Verse 2
“Blessed are the humble, the poor and the meek,
For they shall inherit both Heaven and Earth.
Blessed are they that do hunger and seek,
For they will be filled, and they’ll find what they search.

Verse 3
“Blessed are you when for My sake men hate you,
Rejoice and be glad, your reward shall be sure.
If you forgive others for their sins against you,
The Father above in turn will forgive yours.”

Chorus 1
Words from the mountain unheard in the valley.
Words from the mountain to change all the world!

Verse 4
“Do unto others as you’d have them do.
Go in the straight gate, and not in the wide.
Many are called but the chosen are few.
They that hear My words and do them are wise!”

Chorus 2
Words from the mountain unheard in the valley.
Words from the mountain to change all the world!
Words from the mountain unheard in the valley.
Words from the mountain to change all the world!

Bridge
“He with an ear let him hear all My Words,
They are Spirit and life,
They’ll remain, though the world pass away!

Verse 5
“Behold, the fields how with flowers they’re clothed.
The birds of the air, do they sow, do they reap?
Even so seek first the Kingdom of God,
And He will give you all these things that you need!”

Chorus 3
Words from the mountain unheard in the valley.
Words from the mountain to change all the world!
Words from the mountain unheard in the valley.
Words from the mountain to change all the world!
Words from the mountain unheard in the valley.
Words from the mountain to change all the world!
