Rich Mullins' song reflects on the Beatitudes, honoring those who are meek, peacemakers, and poor in spirit. It speaks of their perseverance through chains and mourning, with a promise that their sorrow will turn to joy. The lyrics express a desire to shine and sing for these faithful ones, who hunger for righteousness and are rich in mercy. The song is a prayerful meditation on living out Jesus' teachings from the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing humility, purity, and hope in God's ultimate justice.
I will sing for the meek
For those who pray with their very lives for peace
Though they're in chains for a higher call
Their mourning will change into laughter when the nations fall
In spirit poor
In mercy rich
They hunger for Your righteousness
Their hearts refined in the purity
Lord let me shine for them
Lord let me sing
Lord let me shine for them
Lord let me sing
