I Firmly Believe . . .

I firmly believe there is none kinder than You to shower Grace on me. Tell me, is this not the reason I am at Your Lotus Feet?

I firmly believe You will respond quick when I pray and plead....Tell me, is this the reason I am crying out loud for You?

I firmly believe You are ever beside me to guide my steps all the time...Tell me, is this not the reason I am Yours thro' day and night?

I firmly believe You can never say 'No' to whatever I ask of You.....Tell me, is this the reason I long for a glance from You?

What have You designed for me this time? Why this dire delay to offer boons? However long You make me wait and wail, I will not leave..... I will be standing still Until Your loving eyes do turn on me . . . .
