Here are songs I want to sing to God!
"When thou commandest me to sing it seems that my heart would break with pride;
And I look to Thy face, and tears come to my eyes.
All that is harsh and dissonant in my life melts into one sweet harmony---
and my adoration spreads wings like a glad bird on its flight across the sea.
I know Thou takest pleasure in my singing.
I know that only as a singer I come before Thy presence.
I touch by the edge of the far-spreading wing of my song Thy feet which I could never aspire to reach.
Drunk with the joy of singing I forget myself and call Thee friend who art my Lord."
This second one I especially like. It was written during India's freedom struggle against the British Raaj (raaj means rule).
"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sad of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by Thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake."
Please, sing today. "Let my country awake"!
"Love, luck, light
Laughs, 'life' and lollipops." -Preeti Shastri
