Poverty
There's a power in poverty that breaks principalities
And brings the authorities down to their knees
There's a brewing frustration and ageless temptation
To fight for control by some manipulation
But the God of the kingdoms and the God of the nations
The God of creations sends this revelation
Through the homeless and penniless Jesus the son
The poor will inherit the Kingdom to come
And where will we turn when our world falls apart?
And all of the treasures we've stored in our barns
Can't buy the kingdom of God
And who will we praise when we've praised all our lives?
Men who build kingdoms and men who build fame?
But heaven does not know their names
And what will we fear when all that remains
Is God on the throne, with a child in his arms
And love in his eyes
And the sound of his heart cries
And brings the authorities down to their knees
There's a brewing frustration and ageless temptation
To fight for control by some manipulation
But the God of the kingdoms and the God of the nations
The God of creations sends this revelation
Through the homeless and penniless Jesus the son
The poor will inherit the Kingdom to come
And where will we turn when our world falls apart?
And all of the treasures we've stored in our barns
Can't buy the kingdom of God
And who will we praise when we've praised all our lives?
Men who build kingdoms and men who build fame?
But heaven does not know their names
And what will we fear when all that remains
Is God on the throne, with a child in his arms
And love in his eyes
And the sound of his heart cries
