Small Mercies

He holds his head and lifts his eyes to the sky Where are you when i need you Lord.. Rama He intones the creator in a strange tongue Rama karama ye na shaka yo... Rama He offers supplication in a strange tongue Actually its as if the words are coming out From a well a cistern of his soul.. deep inside He continues his supplication and in his minds eye He exits the third heaven approaching the throne The throne of mercy is unveiled and he enters In worship he is dedicated and in prayer He gains transcendence.. to the throne We thank the Lord for small mercies and favor We thank the Lord for the unveiling of the throne The throne of mercy in the transcendental realm We intone in worship thankful for small mercies (His mercies are new each morning.. He is Jehovah Roi)
