The advantage of disadvantage

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:3

Your kingdom Lord,

can be found

in my great need,

Vulnerable,

I will come

to You and believe.

Impoverished,

poor in spirit

nothing I bring.

Mourning,

bereft of hope,

still I sing.

Meekly aware,

O Friend of sinners

now with me.

Hungry and thirsty,

driven by want

to see You holy.

My need / Your supply!

My hunger / Bread of Life!

My thirst / Living Water supplied!

My inability / Your power!

My grief / Your comfort!

My poverty / Your riches!

O Lord,

Your kingdom comes.

Your will is done.

I come in need.

Your power exceeds.

I feel Your embrace

of enabling grace!

Amen
