I CAN ONLY PROMISE

I can promise
To be sincere;
But sweet Lord,
It is You alone
Who have to make me sincere.

I can promise
To be good;
But beloved Lord,
It is You alone
Who can and will
Make me eternally and supremely good.

Beautiful, it provokes tears especially toward the end. I would love to speak with Sri Chinmoy if she moderates these comments at all.

After some research I realized who Sri was, my apologies I hadn’t known. This is a beautiful piece nonetheless.
