Francis and Chorus:

Poverty is a blessing, no need for riches now…
I’ll cast out my true possessions,
freedom from being bound.

Why is it I can’t see,
I’m blind to the needs of God’s world…
Hunger is the main meal,
thirst the only drink I need…
I’ll strive to live true Poverty!

Poverty is a blessing, child of God and more…
Real luxury is a true curse,
closed will be heaven’s door.

Why does it seem so hard to do,
am I tied by my senses?…
Senseless is the reason,
I’ll surrender to the truth…

Dying to self means life…

Poverty is a blessing!
Poverty is a blessing!
Poverty is a blessing!
