A prayer

O God, never again 

Let my heart deviate 

And let it go 

In wrong direction 

 

O God, never again 

Let my heart love 

Anything and anyone 

That's not meant for me 

 

O God, never again 

Let my heart cry 

For anything worldly 

It's all mortal and temporary 

 

O God, never again 

Let my heart get attached

To anything that you don't love 

And anyone who doesn't obey you 

 

O God, never again 

Let my heart desire 

Anyone or anything 

That will destroy my love for thee 

 

O God, never again 

Let my heart seek 

Anyone and anything

That you don't like and love 

 

O God, never again 

I'll pray for things 

That are nothing but devils trap 

To take me away from you 

 

O God, always 

Love me, hold me close to you 

Bless me friendship and love of people 

Who are your obedient servants and friends 

 

O God, always 

Be with me, love me, care for me 

For when you are mine 

Then life in every form 

Is happy and filled with divine tranquillity
