Terrain's latest single is inspired by one the most famous passages in the Bible and the longest sermon Jesus ever gave. It's called The Sermon On The Mount. In it, Jesus lays out what His people should be like and what His Kingdom is all about. In the song "Matthew 5," Terrian finds a catchy way to cleverly capture the sentiment of some of those truths. As followers of Jesus, we are loved and cared for by God, we should be peacemakers, we should be lights in this world that point people to Jesus, and we get to pray and God hears us.
This song is a great way to get God's Word in your heart. So, in addition to adding this song to your playlist, I have a challenge for you. Grab a Bible or Bible app this week and read Matthew 5-7 and learn more about the values of Jesus' Kingdom and the lifestyle of His followers. And maybe, use the lyrics of "Matthew 5" to help commit some of those truths to memory.
Matthew 5:3-9 (NIV):"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Lyrics
He came for the saints and the sinners (Sinners)
Game clock, hit the shot for the winner (Winner)
In it for the long haul, no sprinter (Sprint)
I got a seat at the table for the dinner (Thank you, Lord)
I said the gang goes crazy when He show up (Show up)
Haters hate it when the righteous get to blow up (Blow up)
I took a dip in His water, that's a glow up (Glow up)
Yeah, they wonder if I love 'em, yeah, sho'nuff
I won't apologize
I'm the apple of his eye
And there's a reason why
He makes the sun to shine down on me
I, He loves me all the time
And that's the reason why
He makes the sun to shine down on me
Drippin' Holy, Holy swag, Holy swag
I ain't holdin' nothin back, nothin' back
Papa back up in his bag, in his bag
Blessed are the poor in the spirit (Spirit)
Say a prayer, send it up, let Him hear it (Let Him hear it)
There's freedom in his name when you fear it (When you fear it)
Purified in the fire if you wit' it (Wit' it)
Make peace, be salt, point ya eyes up (Eyes up)
See that city on a hill about to light up (Light up)
Be a firework, child, blow the night up, yeah
Before your time's up
