Blessed are the Poor

blessed are the poor
for they shall suffer
they shall face critics
and they shall be silent

blessed are the poor
for they shall rely on hope
they shall seek comfort
and they shall be patient

blessed are the poor
for they shall know hunger
they shall welcome charity
and they shall be grateful

blessed are the poor
for they shall endure pain
they shall receive pity
and they shall feel shame

yes, blessed are the poor
for they shall lean on faith
they shall trust god
and they shall count on heaven
