A beautiful piece for the morning arising for the fast! Thank you❤️

Fast

Is There Any Remover

      A                              B/A*
The steed of this Valley is patience;

           D                        A
Without patience the wayfarer

A                          B/A*
On this journey will reach nowhere

               D                   A
And attain no goal… no goal.

E                             D
Nor should he ever be downhearted;

E                      D
If he strive for a hundred thousand years and yet fail

E                     D
To behold the beauty of the Friend… the beauty of the Friend,

A                   A*     D                      A
He should not falter (should not falter)      x2
He should not falter 

D                           E                      D                  E
A hundred thousand years, the beauty of the Friend

O MY SERVANT! The basest of men 
are they that yield no fruit on earth. 
Such men are verily counted as among the dead,

nay better are the dead in the sight of God 
than those idle and worthless souls.

O thou lamp who are enkindled with the fire of the Love of God!
Verily, I read thy recent letter which showed thy strong love,
Thy being ablaze with the fire of the love thy Lord,

Thine is the absolute authority to command.”

I shall choose no one except you to share with Me the cup of martyrdom. Rest assured that this promise which I give you shall be fulfilled."
