Poor

I've read the beatitudes a few times. Some of them are clear...those who mourn, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Then, there are others that aren't so clear. What does being poor in spirit mean?

I don't know that I have a perfect definition...but when Kasey played this song for me last night, it had "poor in spirit" all over it. I want to NEED God like this.

Come closer, closer to me.
Find me broken, find me bleedin'
cause I need more now than a fairy tale,
a god who lives in a book.
I need someone real.

So would you come?
Would you come?
If i begged you, would you come closer to me now?

Come closer, closer to me.
Find me broken, find me on my knees,
cause I need more now than philosophy.
Some god in outer space doesn't mean anything to me.

So would you come?
Would you come?
If I begged you, would you come closer to me now?
Would you come?
Would you come?
If i begged you, would you come closer to me now?

Son of David, do not pass me by,
cause I am naked,
I'm poor and I'm blind.
Son of david, don't pass me by,
cause I am naked,
I'm poor and I'm blind.
