Here’s a song from Jason’s record All The Lovely Losers (available in the Rabbit Room store). He co-wrote it with one of my favorites, PFR’s Joel Hanson, and those of you familiar with PFR will probably recognize Joel’s influence on this one. That God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness is a big theme in Jason’s thinking and his music, and this song presents it well.
BLESSED BE Words & Music: JG & Joel Hanson Matt 5:1-16 There seems to be a special blessing available only to the poor in spirit, the meek, those who mourn, or in a word: the losers. It’s a shame that most times we are deathly afraid of becoming the kind of person Jesus described as eligible for this blessing.
Losers All the lovely losers Who never thought you’d hear your name Oustide Always on the outside Empty at the wishing well But time will tell
Blessed be The ones who know that they are weak They shall see The Kingdom come to the broken ones Blessed be
Thirsty Like you’re drinking from a salt sea But one day you’ll be satisfied Hungry For the taste of mercy If only you could have your fill One day you will
Blessed be The ones who know that they are weak They shall see The Kingdom come to the broken ones Blessed be
Not for the strong, the beautiful, the brave Not for the ones who think they’ve got it made It’s for the poor, the broken, and the meek It’s for the ones who look a lot like you and me
Blessed be The ones who know that they are weak They shall see The Kingdom come to the broken ones Blessed be
