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!
