Salt Of The Earth

< Verse >

Salt of the earth light of the world

A city on a hill cannot be hid

Cast your nets into the sea

Come follow me I’ll make you fishers of men

< Chorus >

Blessed are the poor and those who mourn

For they shall be comforted

Blessed are the merciful and pure in heart

Peacemakers persecuted for their righteousness

< Verse >

The last will be first the first will be last

Not a letter of God’s Word can disappear

Before you leave your gifts for me

Make peace with your brother then come offer your gifts

< Bridge >

Our father who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come thy will be done

On earth as it is in heaven

< Verse >

Settle matters quickly with your foes

Do it while you’re with em’ along the way

If you’re handed over unto the judge

You won’t be released until every penny is paid

< Chorus >

< Verse >

Let your yes be yes, your no be no

Better not to swear or take an oath

If your right hand or eye causes you to sin

Cast them away let your journey begin
< Bridge >
