If Love Is A Red Dress (Hang Me In Rags) [Acoustic Demo Version] - Maria McKee

Blessed are the poor in spirit For we know we need you Blessed are the poor in spirit For we know we need you I loosen the grip Where I've held on too tight I lay down my riches And give up my rights I won't be holding on I'm letting go Blessed are the hungry children For we'll be satisfied Blessed are the hungry children For we'll be satisfied I won't spend my gold On bread that won't fill I look to the heavens Knowing only you will Jesus I'm hungry Come satisfy me Jesus I'm hungry Come satisfy me Blessed are the pure in heart For we will see God Blessed are the pure in heart For we will see God
