God's River

In your river; 
My heart, like a ruined waterwheel;
Whatever it turns, in any direction , 
there is water flowing all over.
And even if I leaned my back against the wall, 
In front of me the water flows

Before your sun; 
My heart like a palsied shadow 
Wherever my face turned; stung from the eyes of sun
How shall I, while I am a palsied shadow,
to flee from these eyes!  

Oh Lord.. 
From ragged clay you created me
Don't distract my heart with waterwheel,not your river 
Don't blinds my wretched shadow from your sun 
Oh Lord.. 
My heart quivering like the heart of quicksilver 
Show me the road.
