God then, God now

1. God then

God then was Love,
So nice and fine.
God then was mine
Below, above.

2. God now

God now is Light
Delight, Delight,
My all, my all
God now is Light.

3. Above and below

Above, above, above, above, above
My Lord the dreaming Dove
And glowing Love.
Below, below, below, below, below
Darkness and bondage
Sing and dance and flow.

4. I live

I live, I live, ever I live
His Face to see,
His Love to be,
Him to receive,
Him to achieve,
His Will my root,
His Smile my tree.

5. My task

I ask my Lord Supreme, I ask:
What is my task, what is my task?
"My child, try and cry to change thy face
And tell the world My Name is Grace."
Shall I succeed, can I succeed?
"Why not, why not?
My Breath shall feed
Your life of love, devotion pure
Victory all-where when surrender sure."

6. I need you not

O time and space,
I need you not.
My breath has caught
My Supreme's Face.
O depth and height,
I need you not.
My soul has bought
Reality's light.
O Golden Goal,
I need you not.
My Lord has sought
My journey's soul.

7. Before the end of day

Before the end of day
My eye of Light shall change
My face of sombre clay
And touch my Spirit's range.

8. Before the end of night

Before the end of night
I can, I shall devour
Sleepless death's senseless bite.
In me my Supreme, my Power.

9. Awake

Awake, O Mother Ind, awake!
To burn the Spirit's fire
In the heart of the mortal's mire
Where flowers of new dawn shall break.
Awake, O Mother Ind, awake!
To save the dying earth
With the flood of nectar-birth
And stop the age-long dance of the snake.

10. My sky and my soul

I have a sky, I have a sky.
Alas, no wings have I to fly.
Yet I have a sky, I have a sky.
I have a soul, I have a soul.
Alas, nowhere I see my goal.
Yet I have a soul, I have a soul.

11. She

Soul-stirring eyes of gold-delight,
All-where reigning supreme
Our blind secrecy's dream
She seizes with her all-forgiving sight.
Torn now asunder our ego's screen
Under her smile of grace
Blooms quick our surrender's face
She paves the way to a life evergreen.

12. Within and without

Within, within, within, within, within
No ire, no dole, no fear, no doubt, no din.
Without, without, without, without, without
Human soul and earthly goal together shout.

13. Faith and doubt

O what is faith and what is doubt?
Faith is life-sun beyond the grave.
Doubt is the battle lost, within, without.
A doubter cries: Me none can save.

14. O love me more and love me long

O love me more and love me long.
My boat is sinking; my hope is strong.
O love me more and love me long.
My breath is bleeding; my dream is strong.
O love me more and love me long.
My soul is leaving; my surrender strong.
O love me more and love me long.
My Goal is crying; my promise strong.

15. O come and sing with me

O come and sing with me
O come and sing with me
I shall give You, I shall give You
My love and all my beauty free.
O come and dance with me
O come and dance with me
I shall give You, I shall give You
My breath and my life of nectar-sea.
O come and cry with me
Cry with me, cry with me
O come and cry with me
Cry with me, cry with me
O Beloved, O Beloved
O Lover, Lover sweet
We shall shine, we shall shine
Through Eternity.

16. My green-red journey and my blue-gold journey

Before my green-red journey's earth-bound flight
My soul shook hands with
God's Compassion-Height.
Before my blue-gold journey's Heaven-bound flight
My life shakes hands with
God's Perfection-Light.

17. I fly

I fly, I fly, ever I fly
To feel His Feet of selfless Grace.
I fly, I fly, endless high
No more shall cry my human race.
