Danta De 85: Beatitude

Em		    	       D               Em
Blessed are you poor ones: the reign of God is yours.
G		       Am
Blest are you when you cry:
       Em	 Am	Em
you'll find your way to joy.
    G               D
And blessed all you hungry ones:
Em                        D
you shall eat till you're full.
    G              Am
You live with mockery
  Em        Am     Em
because you follow me.

Em		  	  D                   Em
Woe to wealth and power unless they serve the poor.
G                  Am
Woe to heartless delight
    Em       Am      Em
and laughter born of spite.
    G              D
And woe to you who eat your fill
Em                        D
though your neighbors may starve.
   G       Am
In popularity 
    Em        Am      Em
you turn your back on me.

Em		    		D             Em
Lord, we have no home here. The sparrow has a home.
G                     Am
Swallows fly to their nest
    Em         Am         Em
and with their young find rest.
  G                  D
O hear our prayer, O Lord of Hosts:
Em                  D
lead us back to our home --
    G		     Am
our restlessness not through
  Em     Am      Em
until we rest in you.

Em		    	     D                Em
Lovely is your dwelling, the household of the Lord.
G              Am
Happy families there
      Em     Am       Em
shine out in thankful prayer.
    G                 D
Our hearts are set on pilgrimage:
Em                        D
through these valleys and woods
    G              Am
you lead us out of time
   Em   Am     Em
to our eternal home.
