Matthew 5:3-12        
         
the outcasts        
of this world        
we were        
the poor        
in spirit        
waiting to inherit        
the Kingdom        
of Heaven        
§        
the grieving        
whom no          
one comforted        
§        
the meek        
robbed of earthly        
Inheritance        
         
the hungry        
whom no one        
fed        
§        
the thirsty        
whom no one        
quenched        
§        
the naked        
whom no one        
clothed        
§        
the wretched        
whom no one        
valued        
§        
the lonely        
whom no one        
befriended        
§        
the blind        
whom no one        
saw        
§        
the deaf        
whom no one        
heard        
§        
the sick        
whom no one        
healed        
§        
the imprisoned        
whom no one        
vindicated        
§        
the fatherless        
whom no one        
supported        
§        
the lost        
whom no one        
rescued        
§        
the merciful        
to whom no one          
showed mercy        
§        
but our fate        
was only        
for a time        
and a season        
§        
we shall be        
satisfied        
with good things        
when the scales        
are balanced        
§        
for the earth        
is the Lord’s        
and the fullness        
thereof        
to those who are        
poor             naked          
grieving             meek          
hungry             thirsty        
     merciful        
    wretched        
         lonely              
blind            deaf        
sick            imprisoned        
fatherless            lost        
in every wise        
§        
and our        
wisdom        
is not of this        
world
