Lyrics
A multitude followed a man
a prophet who spoke words of wisdom
And they listened trying to understand
the paradox of his great truth
He said Blessed be those who are poor
for you shall inherit the kingdom
And blessed be those who are weak
for you shall inherit great strength
Blessed be those who are children
for you shall be counted as wise
And blessed be the blind ones
for you shall see with new eyes
refrain:
Behold now the kingdom
Behold now the kingdom
Behold now the kingdom
See with new eyes
Blessed be those of compassion
for you shall inherit compassion
And blessed be those who forgive
for you shall be forgiven
You shall receive consolation
only in reaching to give
And only in dying for others
can you be reborn to live
(refrain)
So a multitude followed a Man
a Prophet who spoke words of wisdom
And they listened yet could not understand
the paradox of His great truth
=====
w/"Immanuel" by Michael Card
A sign shall be given, a virgin will conceive
A human baby bearing undiminished deity
The glory of the nations, a light for all to see
And hope for all who will embrace his warm reality
CHORUS:
Immanuel, our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us, Immanuel
For all who live in the shadow of death
A glorious light has dawned
For all who stumble in the darkness
Behold your light has come
(CHORUS)
Behold now the Kingdom
Behold now the Kingdom
Behold now the Kingdom
See with new eyes
Behold now the Kingdom (Immanuel)
Behold now the Kingdom (Immanuel)
Behold now the Kingdom (Immanuel)
See with new eyes
Behold now the Kingdom (Immanuel)
See with new eyes
