Tu Es Ma Lampe

C Am F G

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,
The Mighty, the Praised, and the penetration of the Spirit of Truth

The fire, the fire, the fire of the love of thy Lord. 
The Mighty, the Praised, and the penetration of the Spirit… 
… of Truth.

O SON OF SPIRIT! There is no peace for thee save by renouncing thyself and turning unto Me; for it behooveth thee to glory in My name, not in thine own; to put thy trust in Me and not in thyself, since I desire to be loved alone and above all that is.

Thou seest, O Thou Who art my All-Glorious Beloved, the restless waves that surge within the ocean of my heart,

In my love and yearning towards Thee. 

I implore Thee, by the signs of Thy majesty and the evidences of Thy sovereignty, to subdue Thy servants by this Name

"Verily I Say" by Nadia & Roshan

O God!  Refresh and gladden my spirit.  
Purify my heart.  Illumine my powers.  
I lay all my affairs in Thy hand.  
Thou art my Guide and my Refuge.  

I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved; 
I will be a happy and joyful being.  

O God!  I will no longer be full of anxiety, 
nor will I let trouble harass me.  
I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life.

O God!  Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself.  I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord.

Hope you enjoy, love love love.
