Poor in Spirit (Remix)
From the album ·The Beatitudes Jam — The Remixes
📖 Matthew 5:3
The first blessing goes to the people with nothing left to bring. Not the humble-brag kind of poor — the actually empty kind. Theirs is the kingdom, and He said it first. The floor mix — same blessing, extended for the room.
Mood · humble
Lyrics
[Intro] (filtered gospel-disco sample starts muffled, vinyl crackle, tape wobble, soft Rhodes loop, four-on-the-floor kick fading in, distant choir hum, mono-leaning) Blessed are the poor in spirit For theirs is the kingdom of heaven I came with nothing Nothing to prove Empty hands open Waiting on You [Build] (filter slowly opens, chopped choir vowels loop, warm bass joins the kick, handclaps enter on two and four, disco string stabs rising) I laid my pride down Right at the door I thought I was rich But I needed You more I don’t have to fake it I don’t have to pretend When I come before You That’s where healing begins [Groove] (full drop — bright gospel-disco groove, chopped choir responses, warm bass, crisp hats, handclaps, Rhodes bounce, offbeat strings, sidechain pumping) Poor in spirit Rich in the kingdom Empty before You Ready to receive Poor in spirit No more pretending I need Your wisdom I need You leading me Blessed, blessed When I know I need You Blessed, blessed When I let You lead The proud keep talking The humble can hear The kingdom comes closer When the heart becomes clear [Bridge] (filter closes, drums drop out, one choir fragment repeats “the kingdom,” Rhodes sustains, vinyl crackle grows louder, reversed strings rise) Not by my money Not by my name Not by my power Not by my fame I come like a child With nothing concealed You fill up the broken You strengthen the weak Blessed are the poor in spirit For theirs is the kingdom of heaven [Peak] (everything returns fullest — layered choir chops, brighter strings, heavier bass, punchy kick, tambourine, handclaps, brass accents, wide harmonies, peak dance-floor praise) Poor in spirit Rich in the kingdom Empty before You Ready to receive Poor in spirit No more pretending I need Your wisdom I need You leading me The kingdom is ours The kingdom is near When pride falls down Your voice becomes clear Blessed, blessed I know I need You Blessed, blessed You’re all that I need [Outro] (filter slowly closes, hats fade first, claps disappear, kick drops last, choir chops dissolve into reverb, vinyl crackle remains) Poor in spirit Rich in the kingdom Poor in spirit You’re all that I need Blessed are the poor in spirit For theirs is the kingdom of heaven
