What I Want

[Guest guest]

What I Want

1. Sai Baba Lord I try how I might

Am peace denied, am much perturbed

To pray to Thee, in thick of fight,

For help, alas I am deterred.

2. So great the weight of weary care,

So noisy din of daily fight,

So keen the pang of sad despair

So dark my path, without a light

3 .I want not wealth, to waste or hoard

want not honour, pride of place

I bow to Thee, to lift my load

Of care, and grant me, peace, apace.

4. To serve Thee, Love, with all my heart

By serving, loving, creatures all

To reach Thee soon, to play my part

Grant Thou, me strength, I may not fall.
