Blessed Are the Ones Who Walk

Blessed are the ones who do not stray, To the world’s counsel,way, or sway. But their delight is found by night and day, In what the Lord God has to say.

Blessed are they—their steps are sure, On a path that is holy,steadfast, and pure. They’ve built their house on the solid rock, Able to withstand the world’s shock. “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”(Matthew 7:24)

Blessed are they—they shall be like a tree, Planted by streams for all to see. Their roots run deep,their leaves stay green, Their lives are fresh,a living scene. “He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.”(Psalm 1:3)

Blessed are they—they have a lamp, a light, That cuts the deepest,darkest night. Their path is clear,their way is shown, They do not walk this world alone. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”(Psalm 119:105)

Blessed are they—they know true peace, As their faith in His promises sees release. Their minds are guarded,their hearts are kept, While over their souls,a watch is slept. “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 4:7)

Blessed are they—they bear good fruit, From the living,holy, gospel root. The Spirit works through what they’ve heard, And they live out the powerful Word. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…”(Galatians 5:22-23)

Blessed are they—they know their God, Their feet are shod with gospel sod. They stand against the evil one, Through battles fought,and victories won. “Take… the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”(Ephesians 6:17)

So may this blessing fall on you, In everything you say and do. May you walk in His word,and may it be Your joy,your life, your liberty.

Blessed are you, who walk in the Lord’s words. For you are truly,deeply known. And you will never walk alone.
