Poverty
w/m Jason Upton

   

                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?
