Poor in spirit, Pure in Heart- the children understood from the start
That His yoke is easy and His burden light
He turns weakness to strength and helplessness to might!
He had the power to calm the sea
He spoke the words and created the tree
Where he freely gave up his rights
And laid down His life for me!
Poor in Spirit, Pure in Heart
Thos he chose were set apart
The dspised and the outcast he chose to receive
Though he found them abandoned and slow to believe
The smoking flax he did not quench
The bruised reed he did not break
Instead He thirsted on the cross
His body was broken for our sake.
Poor in Spirit, Pure in heart.
He made compassion into an art
for He understood so we'd understand
That power laid down is what His power demands!
