I’m going through Spirit and Song Vol 1 looking at their gathering songs and recessionals and I’m up to this one by John D. Becker, who is another songwriter new to me.
You can find the text, listen to a snippet and purchase the song for download at spiritandsong.
You could use this anywhere the Beatitudes are referred to in the liturgy. The verses take these thoughts from Matthew and marry them to an uplifting chorus from John (the way, the truth, the life). I think it works and not just for children.
John Becker also wrote a Litany of the Saints which we used in my parish. Below is a youtube video of it.

That’s a great setting, Chris. I’ll file that away for future reference.
