hearing new words – v4

such words I have never heard
these new words 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,
His follows, His disciples.

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