O Lord, I am offering my life to You,
what else do You now expect from me?

By attaining You,
all my hopes and love have today been fulfilled.
Only to listen to Your footsteps
I have remained ever awake for eras, day and night.

I have been threading evernew garlands soaked in tears.
In the eastern sky light shines forth with a gentle smile.
That smile, O Lord, is full of forms and colours.

_______________________________________


I offer my life unto You.
Will You now look benignly at me?
All my hope and love are centred around only You.

I am ever awake, listening for Your gentle footsteps.
I keep weaving ever new and fresh garlands

and drench them with my tears.

The eastern horizon is radiant with a flood of light.
It betokens a gentle smile of Yours,

full of sweet forms and colours.
