Lyrics of
Behold Now The Kingdom

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
Blessed be the blind man
For you shall see with new eyes
Behold now the Kingdom
Behold now the Kingdom
Behold now the Kingdom
See with new eyes
Blest be those of compassion
For you shall inherit compassion
And blessed be those who forgive
For you shall be for-given
You shall receive consolation
Only in reaching to give
Only in dying for others
Can you be reborn to live
Repeat Chorus
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
