Unworthy, Yet Blessed

“Blessed are the poor in spirit” I am broken by my pride and arrogance How should I ever see the kingdom of heaven “Blessed are those who mourn” My sins and offenses are innumerable Why would I deserve comfort “Blessed are the meek” I struggle with anger and aggression What makes me worthy of any inheritance “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness” Righteousness slips through my finger like sand How can a void be filled “Blessed are the merciful” My thirst for vengeance consumes me Why would mercy be shown me Blessed are the pure in heart I lust for more and more What is my chance of seeing the holy “Blessed are the peacemakers” Violence and broken relationships litter my life How can I be called a child of God “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness” Too few are the times I stood for what is just and right Why would I gain the kingdom of heaven “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me” I have abandoned Your Way so many times What makes a man such as myself worthy to be blessed The Blood of the Lamb Atones for all I repent!
