Humility, Awe and Inspiration

[Guest guest]

Good morning everyone...Sat Nam...

 

I feel inspired to share something with everyone this morning.

 

After sadhana, I pick up my guitar and practice it and sing for

awhile.

 

I sing chants and other Devotional songs we hear on Cd's that we've

all heard available through yoga tech etc.

 

This morning I remembered a song someone had given me just before

christmas that I had forgotten about. I believe the origins of it

is the Christian faith. (I know someone might interpret it as a

song of feeling possibly unworthy and feeling like God is outside of

you, but that's not how I experienced it).

 

I pulled it out and began to play and sing it. Half way through, my

voice became inaudible as tears began streaming down my face, as I

sang the last two lines. I sang it for about 20 minutes straight, I

was so moved by it.

 

It reminded me of the part in Japji that I was wondering about...

the line about humility and awe in the face of God.

 

I thought I might share this song with you. Maybe someone else out

there likes to sing devotionally...so I'll include the chording as

well.
