Bless Me, Oh Lord

a poem by Devi Nangrani

I was drifted to you as you are the eternal entity
I surrendered myself to you without any rigidity.

Oh Lord! longing only for your compassion and benison
I have detached myself from all kinds of passions.

Oh lord! I am able to thrive on daily,
But for the showers of your grace I’ll die certainly.

Oh lord! I melt like wax of a candle
Only for a sight, my mind does dwindle.

Oh lord! Bless me with thine sight every day
Astral or casual, without further delay.

Oh lord! You are everything to me in this life benign
Forgive my sins and accept me in thy reign.

Like the waves of the deep blue ocean
Like the flicker of the burning fire.
Oh! Lord let me merge in Thee,
The ever effulgent and radiant sire.
