Poverty

D                 G    D
There’s a power in poverty that breaks principalities 
     G           D          A
And brings the authority’s down to their knees 
           D                       G        D
There’s a brewing frustration and ageless temptation 
    G          D              A
To fight for control by some manipulation 
  

        A                            G         D
But the God of the Kingdoms and the God of the Nations 
     A                   G     D
The God of creation sends this revelation 
          D                    G       D
Thru the homeless and penniless Jesus the Son 
     D         Em         E/G#      Asus
The poor will inherit the Kingdom to come 

  
D              Em            E/G#        A
Where will we turn when our world falls apart, 
   F#/A#        Bm          E/G#             A
And all of the treasures we’ve stored in our barns 
 D/F#         G          Asus
Can’t buy the Kingdom of God? 
D            Em               E/G#             A
Who will we praise when we’ve praised all our lives 
F#/A#          Bm         E/G#            A
Men who build Kingdoms and men who build fame 
    D/F#         G             Asus
But heaven does not know their names? 
D             Em       E/G#      A       
What will we fear when all that remains 
  F#/A#         Bm           E/G#          A        D/F#         G
Is God on His throne, with a child in his arms, and love in His eyes 
        F/A     G/A         Asus
And the sound of His heart cries?
