hearing new words – v3

such words I have never heard
these new words of Jesus
of our Master, of Christ,
shared with us in the open
here on the mountain
words so different
than what we have been taught
sitting at His feet, with them,

staring with the others
all of us with our mouths wide open
not believing completely
but knowing these new words were
important, changing our lives;
a new way of understanding blessedness,
in these words of Jesus, of Christ,
hearing new words of life
