190. A MIGHTY PROMISE-MAKER
Before I becameA mighty builder,
I was a mighty seeker.
Before I became
A mighty seeker,
I was a mighty sufferer.
Before I became
A mighty sufferer,
I was a mighty sleeper.
Before I became
A mighty sleeper,
I was a mighty ignorance-lover.
Before I became
A mighty ignorance-lover,
I was a mighty promise-maker
To the Lord Supreme.
