This David MacGregor song bravely takes some Beatitudes and adds in a woe that comes after them, which is rarely addressed in song.
The sheet music is at his website. He does mysterious minor key tunes well.
My backing replaced his hums with BIAB voices.
Blessed be
Blessed be
Those who mourn
Who’ve lost it all
Hungry for more
Who tearful, fall
Blessed be
Blessed be
God’s Kingdom belongs to you allmmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm
Blessed be
when you’re cut right down
when you’re tossed right out
slandered around
Abundance comes
Hey, leap, rejoice!
Blessed be
Blessed be
heaven welcomes, with Christ your choicemmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm
Trouble awaits
For you well-fed
You laughing now
Weeping’s ahead
Your life of ease
will be no more
Heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows
what lies in storemmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm
Blessed be
Blessed be
Those who mourn
Who’ve lost it all
Hungry for more
Who tearful, fall
Blessed be
Blessed be
God’s Kingdom belongs to you allmmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm (x2)
