Behold Now The Kingdom
by John Michael Talbot, Terry Talbot

Album: The Painter

A multitude followed a Man
A Prophet Who spoke words of wisdom
And they listened tryin' to understand
The paradox of His great truth

He said
Blessed be those who are poor
For you shall inherit the kingdom
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 man
For you shall see with new eyes

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
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

Behold now the kingdom
Behold now the kingdom
Behold now the kingdom
See with new eyes

So a multitude followed a Man
A Prophet Who spoke words of wisdom
And they listened yet did not understand
The paradox of His great truth
