Lyrics Blessed Are the Merciful - Beautiful Eulogy with Art Azurdia

Are you
Merciful?
Why
Because Jesus healed the sick
Because Jesus fed the multitudes
Because Jesus gave legs to the crippled
Because Jesus granted sight to the blind
Because Jesus opened the ears of the deaf
Because Jesus found prostitutes and tax collectors and threw them into the spear of His love
Because Jesus touched the untouchable, and loved the unloveable, and forgave the unforgivable, and welcomed the undesirable
Because Jesus even now saves the otherwise unsaveable
Why?
Because they deserve it?
When the goodness and loving kindness of God our savior appeared, He saved us
Not because of works done in righteousness
Not because we met Him half way
Not because we took the proper steps forward
And in good faith elevated ourselfs to the place of the deserving poor
But according to His mercy
We are here because Jesus Christ didn't say with cold indifference
"Give them what they deserve, they brought it on themselves."
Jesus Christ is the mercy of God
And seeing us in our misery and need, He doesn't just feel for us
He takes the nessecary action to releave our distress
He leaves the eternal glory of heaven, and the perfect fellowship of the Trinity
He condesends to us
Lives among us
Suffers like us
Dies for us
Do you understand this?
Have you experienced this?
How then is it possible to experience it, and not display it?
It isn't possible!
You haven't experienced it if you don't display it!
The evidence of God's mercy in your life isn't determined by how much theology you know
By how many books you read
But by your active goodness to people in misery, and in need
Blessed are the merciful
For
They
Shall
Recieve
Mercy
