Song Title: “Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit”
(Verse 1)
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Not power, not wealth, not status,
But hearts where mercy’s given.
(Chorus)
Jesus redefines what it means to be blessed,
Honoring humility, lifting up the rest.
Hope for the broken, the meek, the overlooked—
God’s kingdom in hearts the world forsook.
(Verse 2)
Purity and peacemaking shine,
Over worldly success and pride’s design.
A message of hope, steady and strong,
For hearts that’ve felt forgotten too long.
(Chorus)
Jesus redefines what it means to be blessed,
Honoring humility, lifting up the rest.
Hope for the broken, the meek, the overlooked—
God’s kingdom in hearts the world forsook.
(Bridge)
The kingdom’s not found in gold or throne,
But in hearts where His light is known.
Overlooked by men, but seen above,
Wrapped in grace, mercy, and love.
(Final Chorus)
Jesus redefines what it means to be blessed,
Honoring humility, lifting up the rest.
Hope for the broken, the meek, the overlooked—
God’s kingdom in hearts the world forsook.
(Outro)
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
