The Sermon On The Mount

A man sat on a mountainside a carpenter by trade

Teaching His disciples while they knelt and prayed

He blessed the poor and simple and He brought the mourners joy

He came to heal the blind and lame they came not to destroy

When smitten by His enemies He turned the other cheek

He brought strength of God and morals to mortals who were weak

He told of false prophets who wore a sheep’s disguise

And He warned us not to trust him or to listen to his lies

Hey the summon on the mountainside will live eternally

He’ll lead us to the kingdom and He’ll promise you and me

So take the straight and narrow and do good things that count

Make up your mind to live by the sermon on the mount
