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!
