Poem - 17
Lord, may be this might be my last day on earth!
Lord, may be this is my last day on earth to worship You
But you still love me, and you love all without any difference
Lord, you gave me today Your Body and Blood to nourish me
Lord, this was Your promise to give me the eternal life
Lord, may be this is my last day on earth to remember Your mercy
Your mercy engulf me with many blessings
But I am wretched and poor, look for unworthy worldly things
Lord, You gave me one more day on earth to glorify You
Lord, may be this is my last day on earth to work for You
How I spent my worthy time with many things of this world
You told me "But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen
You are descendent of Abraham my friend,
Lord, may be this is my last day on earth to love You
'Whom I have taken to myself, from the remotest parts of the earth
And summoned from countries far away,
To whom I have said, ‘You are my servant, I have chosen you,
I have not rejected you,’ do not be afraid,
For I am with you; do not be alarmed, for I am your God
I give you strength and courage truly I help you,
Truly I hold you firm with my saving right hand.'
Lord, may be this is my last day on earth to make music for You
Lord, let me sing a new song to you in the midst of Your holy people
May I sing the songs to bless Your Holy Name
You are most worthy and more awesome than any other gods
Look, all those who rage against you will be put to shame
Lord, you made many humiliated those who hurt me
Lord, pardon them, they do not know what they are doing.
Lord, may be this is my last day on earth to be an instrument for You
Lord said, "those quarrels with you will be reduced to nothing
You will look for them but will not find them,
Those who used to fight you will be destroyed and brought to nothing,
Those who made war on you will be perished
Lord, bless those who persecuted me on earth,
They are my benefactors to help me to climb the divine ladder.
Lord, may be this is my last day to honour You on earth
"For I, Lord, your God, I grasp you by your right hand;
I tell you, ‘Do not be afraid, I shall help you."
Lord, You honour me by giving me the knowledge about You
Lord, may be this is my last day to glorify You on earth
Lord, still am not able to do, what You ask me to do
But am a useless servant, done no more than my duty
Lord, when can I leave this world; to reach in Your presence
