Psalm 1 Happy is the Man

Prelude (Matthew 5:3-6)

Happy are those who know they’re poor
Who mourn for sin and want much more
Happy are the humble and meek
Who hunger for what’s right this week

Psalm 1

Happy is the man who ignores
Anti-God rhetorical wars
And those who have no moral code
Who mock and decency corrode
But delights in heaven’s teaching
Meditates on the Lord's preaching

I know that he is like a tree
By rivers where the water's free
That bears its fruit abundantly
Thriving leaves and prosperity

An atheist's life is not so
It's like the chaff the wind does blow
When judgment comes he'll be condemned
A sinner will no church attend
The godly man the Lord preserves
The sinner gets what he deserves

Postlude (Matthew 5:7-12)

So happy are the merciful
A heart that’s with purity full
Happy are all those who make peace
When persecution does increase
