Are We Poor in Spirit?

Are we humble and lowly
Or proud, self-serving
Are exalting ourself
Or submissive, subserving?

Are so weary of self
All the efforts you make
Self-reliance, self-ambitions
All fleshly, vain mistakes.

So, acknowledge our blame
Whenever, we succumb
To wrong lusts, and desires
Repent, seeking God’s Son.

He shall be like a tree
Planted by rivers of water
Brings forth fruit, in its season
Whose leaf shall not wither.

Let my cry come
Before You, O LORD
Give me understanding
According to Your Word.

For I rejoice at Your word
As one finding, great treasure.
I hate, and abhor lying
But love Your law, my greatest pleasure.

LORD, look and consider
My affliction, and deliver me
For I do not forget
Your law, set me free.

All Your commands are true
Concerning Your testimonies
I have known, of old
You have founded them, forever.

Trouble and anguish, found me
Yet Your commands, are my delight
Everlasting, Your righteous testimonies
Bring understanding, and revive.

Your testimonies are wonderful
Therefore, my soul keeps them
The opening of Your Word
Giving light to all, amen!
