Blessed are the poor in spirit,
those who trust God and His Son
those who are spiritually bankrupt
who have a need ~ for no other one.
Blessed are the hopelessly condemned,
those who acknowledge their sin
those who accept their shortcomings
who know of the darkness that’s within.
Blessed are the morally destitute,
those who are full of iniquity’s decay
those who recognize their wickedness
who are beggars on the narrow way.
Blessed are the unrighteous,
those who have a depressive condition
those who live in pious poverty
who finally see their own transgression.
Blessed are those empty of all pride,
those who are conscious of their greed
those who believe Jesus paid their debt
who know that God’s love is all they need.
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
they believe in God’s power and favor
for when they repent They are forgiven!

Matthew 5:3
King James Version
“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.”
