One Drop of Mercy

O Gurudeva
give one drop of mercy
pour your grace on me

Make me humbler
than a blade of grass

give me strength
to bear all things

free my heart from pride

Teach me how to
honor every soul

asking nothing
in return

Then, O Master
let me sing the holy name

with a heart
made pure and free

When will your mercy
finally fall on me?

When will I be
blessed by you?

I have no power
I have no wisdom

I am helpless
at your feet

take me
as your own

When I look within me
nothing can I find

nothing that could make me
worthy of your grace

Only your compassion
only your compassion

is the shelter
that I have

If you give no mercy
I will weep and weep

How can I go on
without your grace?

O Gurudeva
give one drop of mercy

pour your grace on me

gurudeva
kripa bindu diya
koro ei dase
