Blessed are the Poor in Spirit
I came here with my pockets full
Of plans I made and pride I grew
But every well I dug stayed dry
And every wall just blocked the view
I'm standing at the edge of me
With nothing left to claim or hold
So I come as a child
Losing the brass and gold
Some come dressed in flowing robes
And some come as little children
He has told us who He sees
The lowly heart is welcome here in
Those who set themselves on high
He will turn away His eyes
The proud and arrogant He will turn away
But the humble He will not despise
The first will be last
Ad the last will be first
And those content to stay in the middle
Will never move
For such is the kingdom of heaven
For those who come as children
Blessed are the meek and lowly
They will dwell in the presence of the Great Amen
For Unless we come like children
We will never be welcomed in
Let nothing rise from strife or vanity
In lowliness we must esteem each other
Looking beyond our own concerns
And bearing the burdens of another
We must clothe ourselves in compassion
In kindness, gentleness, and patience
Forgiving as the Lord forgave us
Letting His mercy lead the way
For such is the kingdom of heaven
The mountains and valleys will be made even
Whoever humbles themselves
Will be exalted by the Lord
For Unless we come like children
We will never be welcomed in
Whoever would be great among us
Let them become a servant
The Son of Man came to serve
And give His life for many
When I dare not lift my eyes to heaven
I pray God be merciful to me
Knowing The humble heart goes home forgiven
The proud will be forgotten
The first will be last
And the last will be first
And those content to stay in the middle
Will never move
For such is the kingdom of heaven
For those who come as children
Blessed are the meek and lowly
They will dwell with the Great Amen
For such is the kingdom of heaven
The mountains and valleys will be made even
Whoever humbles themselves
Will be exalted by the Lord
For Unless we come like children
Unless we come like children
