< 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
