Days of Devotion
I am a slave and have come upon
The days of devotion, one by one
Twenty-nine or thirty, as the crescent counts
I will sacrifice myself if my limbs be sound
My belly will gnaw me
My hands will withhold
My tongue will be silenced
My passions cold
My head will feel
And my heart will think
The Hereafter will be here
And the present shrink
My Lord is One, but I am not
There are millions like me enslaved to God
The toil of today becomes a passing vision
As we return to our Master and the innate Religion

I UNDERSTAND THE WORDS, BEAUTIFUL WORDS.
IF I COULD GIVE YOU ANYTHING,
I WOULD GIVE YOU MORE THAN GOLD.
I WOULD GIVE YOU ALL MY EYES HAVE SEEN,
THE MIRACLES UNTOLD.
IF I COULD GIVE YOU ANYTHING,
I WOULD GIVE YOU ALL OF ME,
TO PAINT THE PRETTY PICTURE
OF LIFE ETERNITY.
YOU SEE,
LIFE IS A MIRACLE,
AND WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD.
WE ARE MOMMIES AND DADDIES,
GRANDPAS AND GRANNIES,
LASSIES AND LADDIES,
MOST MOST OF ALL,
WE ARE MIRACLES,
THEN, NOW AND THEN.
IF I COULD GIVE YOU ANYTHING,
I WOULD GIVE YOU ALL HIS TEARS,
THE ONES THAT FILLED THE WATERS
AND WASHES AWAY YOUR FEARS.
IF I COULD GIVE YOU ANYTHING,
I WOULD GIVE YOU ALL HIS LOVE,
THE ONE THAT ALWAYS STANDS BY YOU,
AND LIVES WITH YOU ABOVE.
IF I COULD GIVE YOU ANYTHING,
I WOULD GIVE YOU AN OPEN DOOR.
THE ONE THAT IS ALWAYS OPEN AND
ALWAYS BEEN BEFORE.
IF I COULD GIVE YOU ANYTHING,
I WOULD GIVE YOU PEACE OF MIND
TO KNOW THATA YOU HAVE GOT A HOME,
A HOME OF YOURS AND MINE.
YOU SEE,
LIFE IS A MIRACLE!
WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD.
MOMMIES AND DADDIES,
GRANDPAS AND GRANNIES,
LASSIES AND LADDIES,
BUT MOST OF ALL
MIRACLES,
THEN NOW AND THEN!

IF YOU WANT TO WALK IN HIS WILL AND HIS WAY, WHY CAN’T YOU LIVE AND DO IT TODAY. SHOULD IT NOT BE TO CHOOSE LIFE AND THE GOOD.
WHY DON’T WE ASK AND HE FULFILS HIS REWARD, FOR THOSE WHO DESIRE BUT TO ASK IT BY PRAYER, AND SHOULD HE NOT PROVIDE THE GOOD AND THE LIFE TO THE ONE WHO IS ASKING TO WALK BY HIS SIDE, IN THE PATH THAT HE WALKS, WILL YOU NOT WALK WITH ME, AND TALK OF THE WORK THAT IS DONE INSIDE OF YOU AND ME. LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND SPEAK ALWAYS THE TRUTH, BUILD IT IN MERCY, AND SHARE JUST THE SAME, AND IF THEY DON’T WANT TO WALK WITH YOU, DON’T LET THIS BE A CONCERN, JUST FOLLOW ME AND KNOW YOU ARE NEVER ALONE.
