count your blessings

[Guest guest]

I do not wish to conquer the earth,

Nor do I want to fathom the sea,

I never aspire to possess the sky,

I only wish to be shown the path

to happiness doing Thy work;

Oh Lord lead me by Thy hand.

 

What have I done to deserve Thee,

who has entered my heart!

How could I make myself worthy

of Thy grace which Thou shower

on my worthless self.

 

I could never repay the debt I owe

to Thee for your kindness shown to me

in this birth or the next, Oh Lord!

So make me Thy servant in all my lives.

 

Saint Thyagaraja said all this in one line:'Dhaasarathee nee rnamu

theerppa naa vasamaa'
