Year A: Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

[Chorus]
Dm Dm7 Gm/D
Blessed are the poor in spirit;
Dm Gm Dm
the kingdom of heaven is theirs!

[Verse 1]
Dm F
The Lord keeps faith forever,
Bbmaj7 A
Secures justice for the oppressed,
Dm F
Gives food to the hungry.
Bbmaj7 A
The Lord sets captives free.

[Verse 2]
Dm F
The Lord gives sight to the blind;
Bbmaj7 A
The Lord raises up those who were bowed down.
Dm F
The Lord loves the just;
Bbmaj7 A
The Lord protects strangers.

[Verse 3]
Dm F
The fatherless and the widow the Lord sustains,
Bbmaj7 A
But the way of the wicked he thwarts.
Dm F
The Lord shall reign forever;
Bbmaj7 A
Your God, O Zion, through all generations. Alleluia.
