The Sermon on the Mount contains at least thirty different metaphors, (salt, light, trumpet, bird, lilies, dog, stone, snake, way, gate, wolves, sheep, tree, fruit & rock), and is one of the most radical messages even delivered. This track for me represents the deep heart-fullness of ‘sat guru Yeshu’ from the side of the Galilean mountain as he poured out this plea for all humanity. The Beatitudes are the blessings born of love, peacemaking, purity of heart and humility, listen and if you wish meditate on any aspect ‘Beautitude’ (blessing) of these eternally sublime words. - paul livingstone
lyrics
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 children 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 me.
