[Verse]

There's a power in poverty that breaks principalities

Brings the authorities down to their knees

There's a brewing frustration and ageless temptation

To fight for control by some manipulation

[Pre-Chorus]

But the God of the kingdoms and God of the nations

The God of creation sends this revelation

Through the homeless and penniless Jesus the Son

"The poor will inherit the kingdom to come"

[Chorus]

And where will we turn when our world falls apart

And all of the treasures we've stored in our barns

Can't buy the kingdom of God?

And who will we praise when we've praised all our lives

Men who build kingdoms and men who build fame

But heaven does not know their names?

And what will we fear when all that remains

Is God on the throne with a child in His arms

And love in His eyes

And the sound of His heart cry?
