#1 If you’re hurting, God is there. If you do good, God is there. (Matthew 5:3-10)

Happy are those who are grieving,

They’ll be consoled.

Happy are the humble,

They will inherit the land.

Happy are those who hunger and thirst for equality,

They will be satisfied.

Happy are the compassionate,

They will find compassion.

Happy are the pure at heart

They will see God.

Happy are the peacemakers,

They’ll be known as children of God.

Happy are those abused for the sake of justice,

The kingdom is theirs.
