In Me Thou Livest

Sant Tukaram 1598 (Dehu, Pune Maharashtra) – 1649 (Dehu)

Take, Lord,  unto Thyself
My sense of self; and let it vanish utterly.
 
Take, Lord, my life,
Live Thou my life through me.
 
I live no longer, Lord,
But in me now
Thou livest.
 
Aye, between Thee and me, my God,
There is no longer room for “I” and “mine.”
