The Poor In Spirit

by Deborah Ann Belka  
1/30/2012 / Poetry

Lord, make me poor in spirit,
let me see my own depravity
show me all my iniquities
my spiritual poverty.

Give me the understanding,
to recognize my sinful condition
let me dwell on my wickedness
till I feel the sting of conviction.

Show me my lustful appetites,
and the habits of selfishness
let me look upon my heart
till I see my own helplessness.

Let me see all of my sinfulness,
what's not pleasant in Your sight
condemn and eternally judge me
for Your laws are always right.

Shut up in me Your loving grace,
lock up in me Your tender mercy
let me exercise my full obedience
through Your Spirit living inside me.

Lord, make me poor in spirit,
let me be, for Christ hard pressed
let me see my absolute poverty
so that I may be ~ heaven blessed!
