The Joyful Singers: Texte

Heaven Can Be Here

© Text: Hans Henschel, Musik: Jürgen Beyer, 2005. Deutsche Übertragung

1 verse: don't resist the evildoer
bless the one who rails
lend expecting nothing back
don't reclaim your bails

stop to fight your enemies
pray for those who hate
trust when you're mistreated
for your reward be great
(Luke 6.28 et sqq.)




(Matt 5.44)

(Luke 6.28 et sqq.)
2 choir:
soloist:
bles - sed!    8x
bles-sed are the simple-minded
bles-sed those who mourn
bles-sed are the gentle ones and
bles-sed those forlorn

bles-sed are you when you're mild
blessed when you appease
bles-sed when you're prosecuted
striving after peace

(Matt 5.3 et sqq.)




(Matt 5.7 et sqq.)
chorus: will you put your hands together
Jesus said he's near
trust his words and keep your faith -
heaven can be here!
3 choir:
soloist:
Je - sus!    8x
Je-sus spoke to his disciples
Je-sus 's speaking still
Je-sus promised blissful living
if we do his will

Je-sus did not judge on sinners
He did not condemn
Je-sus, he forgave and healed
and he died for them
chorus: will you put your hands together
Jesus said he's near
trust his words and keep your faith -
heaven can be here!
repeat verse 2
