Marshall McLean: songs and lyrics

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

there is a kingdom coming, with few that can feel it, the ones who've laid it down the poor in spirit.
and there is a comfort reserved, its taking its form. Its welling up like water, for those who mourn.
and there is an army around us, that surrounds as we speak to inherit the earth without force, the humble and meek.

they say "My hands are empty oh but they're filled, and I'm so poor but richer yet still, and everyone's heaven is becoming my hell, and my cup is empty but I drink it so well, and I've only heard and believed what they said, but I've heard a new word its...Blessed."

and here on the ground for awhile, where justice avoids me, the way that I show mercy, I'll find mercy.

and there is a truth that I know, that tares me apart, that I'll only see God for real, if I'm pure in heart.

and there are some words that I said, and at times I refuted, but I'll be what I say, when I'm persecuted.

and there's a kingdom coming, but it hurts to touch, so nobody here wants it that much, and there's things they never told you but you needed the worst, there is fullness in hunger there's blessing in curse, now there's noise in my silence, there's war in my peace, there's things that I'm holding that I got to release to say...

...repeat chorus..
