The news about Jesus spread.
His sermons people heard.
Around him, a crowd good,
To hear him always stood.
He taught them as a teacher.
He told them as a preacher,
'For you, there's a reward,
Kept in the Kingdom of God.'
'The heaven is there
For the spiritually poor.
This Lord’s Kingdom
Surely belongs to them.'
'God will comfort,
If you really regret.
To receive His mercy
Humble you shall be.'
'Satisfy what all He requires
He'll fulfill all your desires.
If you show others mercy,
He'll show you clemency.'
'Be pure in your heart.
He'll then play His part.
God, if you want to please
You shall work for peace'
'If someone insults you,
Or persecutes you,
Or talks ill of you,
Remember God is with you.'
'Do not at all worry
But be ever happy
For heaven awaits you
With a reward for you.'
Poor people, Jesus cared,
Sick ones, he cured,
Evil spirits, out he drove,
His divine power to prove
Every word he said,
And every action he did,
A place it did find,
Deep in their mind.
The Holy Spirit's power
Was with him forever,
And he travelled farther
Around nook and corner.
Simple Simon
