So Jesus and the twelve traveled all over Galilee |
|
Not just preaching to the people, but teaching the people |
|
And the crowds followed Him because He talked with authority |
|
Like no one they had ever heard before |
|
A Teacher came into the city |
|
And Galilee was eager to hear |
|
What the Teacher said, turned the people's heads |
|
And set the city right on it's ear |
|
He was holdin' class on a mountain |
|
The class was intent on His word |
|
The lesson on the mount was how to live and make it count |
|
They listened and here's what they heard |
|
Blessed are the poor in spirit |
|
That's right, they will have the Kingdom of God |
|
Blessed are they that mourn |
|
Their shackles will be torn |
|
And those who bear the cross of right, will have reward |
|
"Blessed are the meek", said the Teacher |
|
Yes, they will inherit the earth |
|
Those who hunger for the right, will appease their appetite |
|
Their cup will be filled, to quench their thirst |
|
The Teacher was someone |
|
Like no one that they'd seen before |
|
The Teacher had somethin' about Him |
|
They couldn't ignore |
|
The merciful will know of God's mercy |
|
The pure in heart will see the heart of God |
|
Yeah, they will, and He went on to teach |
|
The makers of the peace will be called the children of God |
|
"Blessed are you", said the Teacher |
|
When men persecute you and lie |
|
Though it's hard to take, if it's for My sake |
|
You will have reward by and by |
|
The Teacher was someone |
|
Like no one that they'd seen before |
|
The Teacher had somethin' about Him |
|
They couldn't ignore |
|
The Teacher was a man called Jesus |
|
He came to save us from sin |
|
When you hear Him speak |
|
And turn the other cheek |
|
That's an apple for the Teacher of men |
|
That's an apple for the Teacher of men |
