Naked

Naked

I stand before You

O Lord!

Bereft of all my possessions,

prestige, name, fame,

good qualities, glories,

money, knowledge, slickness.

My sores, stigmas,

scars, dirt, sickness,

ugliness, stench, slackness,

sleaze

are all open before You.

I am Your child

O Lord!

But for You

I have no shelter.

I come before You

and confess my sins.

I beg for Your mercy.

Please accept me.

I have no qualification

to seek Your shelter.

Yet I come before You

Shame faced yet shameless.

Full of hope that

You alone can lift me

and restore my soul

to its original position-

a particle of dust

at Your lotus feet.

You are the greatest healer.

Heal my soul O Lord!

By Your divine touch.

By Your kind embrace.

Forgive me please

and keep me with You.

Let my mind not waver

from Your service

from Your lotus feet.

Let it be here

Next to You.

Near You.

My Sweet Lord
Thank You for Your shelter
