Blessed Are You (Sarah Hart) Lyrics

 
Blessed Are You
Sarah Hart

Verse 1 
Do you know how blessed you are 
when you are poor, 
when your spirit has been tried, 
your hope outpoured? 
Do you know how lovely will be your reward? 
Yours is the kingdom. 

Verse 2 
Do you know how blessed you are 
when you must mourn, 
when the tears are endless rivers in your soul? 
You shall feel the hand of God 
that draws you close in consolation. 

Blessed are you, blessed are you 
in whatever trials 
and troubles you walk through. 
The love of God will not abandon you.
Blessed are you. 

Verse 3 
Do you know how blessed you are 
when hunger comes, 
when no earthly drink 
can slake the thirst within? 
It is then you find 
the fullness poured out upon you. 

Verse 4 
And when peace is like a rumor on the wind, 
and when mercy fails 
to make her presence known,
hope will give you all you need 
to be a light that heals the darkness. 

Verse 5 
O my child, 
there will be struggles still to come, 
persecutions for the sake of love and truth. 
Do not be afraid, for you are not alone. 
Blessed are you. Blessed are you. 

Coda:
The love of God will not abandon you.
