The first of these utterances is the Beatitudes, a section of the Sermon on the Mount-- eight sentences, each starting with the word \"Blessed.\" The most famous of these, \"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth,\" is quoted in the first line of the song.\n\nThe second utterance is the line, \"Oh, Lord! Why have You forsaken me?\" said to have been spoken by Jesus while dying on the crucifix.
