What I Want - by E.Chengad Rao

[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.
