My Lord

When in prayer I raise my hands

I see you in the lines.

In prostration, I lie down in your way,

come at once in my destiny!

If (when) the eye met

with the eye, oh God,

then I become holy

by the effect, oh God

[all stanza x2]

The standing of

your favor is well-known

My soul says,

in prostration, bowing:

You are the prayer,

you are the Lord,

you are the fault,

you are the punishment.

Wherever my eyes look

you are there, you are there

My Lord [x8]

Wrote the beginning,

wrote the end,

I wrote your name

on my breaths.

You are my plea,

you are my selfishness,

you are my desire,

you are my wish

The standing of your favor

is well-known.

Now do a look of mercy

on me, too

You are the prayer,

you are the Lord,

you are the fault,

you are the punishment.

Wherever my eyes look

you are there, you are there

My Lord [x8]

My heart is your devotee,

I became yours, you are mine.

Without you,

I am seemingly incomplete,

come and make me complete!

[repeats last 2 verses]

The standing of your favor

is well-known.

Now do a look of mercy

on me, too

You are the prayer,

you are the Lord,

you are the fault,

you are the punishment.

Wherever my eyes look

you are there, you are there

My Lord [x8]

You are my thirst,

you are the river … ho!

You are the source of my peace … ho!

Your shadow is in my soul … ho!

My destiny is with you … ho!

The standing of your favor

is well-known.

Now do a look of mercy

on me, too

You are the prayer,

you are the Lord,

you are the fault,

you are the punishment.

Wherever my eyes look

you are there, you are there

My Lord [x16]
