Give Me Strength, O Jagannath I don't ask for an easy road, Jagannath, only the strength to walk it straight — that my faith in You may never bend, never break beneath the weight. Let me choose the harder right over the easier wrong, and if I ever start to drift, Lord of the Universe, pull me back before too long. Lift the fog of my unknowing, let Your wisdom find its way in. Keep me far from every darkness that could lead me into sin. Whatever life You choose to give me, let it be a good one, clean and true — I ask for no one's ruin, no grudge I'm holding onto. I stop asking what I've gathered, what is mine to keep, to hold — let me ask instead what I have given, what my open hands let go. Let joy be something I hand out freely, till the world feels less like a fight, and every life I've ever touched remembers I brought a little light. Wash me in Your mercy, Madhava, let it reach the hidden, unclean parts — the corners I don't speak of, the quiet wounds inside...
You are the rhythm, the beat in my chest, In the chaos of life, you’re my only rest. With you by my side, every moment feels bright, Without you, my world loses all of its light. You’re not just a want, you’re the air that I need, The most precious flower grown from love’s seed. It isn't hate, for I could never let go, Life without you is a path I don’t want to know. When I look at your face, my heart starts to chime, A whisper that says, "You’re mine for all time." Before I met you, I was lost in the gray, Just drifting along, through a colorless day. But you taught me what "love" was meant to be, A journey of two, a world made for "we." Now the sun rises high with a promise so new, Every morning is magic, because it starts with you. I wait for your shadow, I count every breath, A devotion so deep, it could challenge even death. Like a night with no moon, or a song with no theme, My life is a ghost without you in my dream. Your name is the echo in eve...
