Blessed is the Man: adapted from Psalm 1

Lyrics and Chords: 1st capo G Intro: (as from ‘but finds his pleasure…verse 1 to end) + / / / /

Blessed is the man

C G

who does not follow wicked ways.

Blessed is the man

Am D

who doesn’t walk the road that sinners take.

G C G

And blessed is the man who doesn’t sneer and scoff all day,

C D G C G

but finds his pleasure in the law of the Lord,

C D G

and dwells on it day and night.

He is like a tree

that is planted by a stream;

Yielding fruit in season,

abundant fruit in leafy green.

His leaves will never fade,

he’ll succeed in all he does,

as he finds his pleasure in the law of the Lord,

and dwells on it day and night.

(instrumental verse)

G C G / G Am D / G C G / C D G (CG) / C D G

But the wicked are like chaff,

scattering in the breeze.

And when the Judgement comes,

they’ll fall down on their knees.

And so they will not stand,

and sinners won’t find ease,

‘Cos they found no pleasure in the law of the Lord,

nor dwelt on it day or night. C D G
