What shall I give Thee Oh, my Lord?

Kuchela gave flaked rice, you gave him a kingdom of devotion

Kubja gave you inguents and you removed her hunch

Sabari gave you some fruits and got the kingdom of heaven

What can I give you my Lord to get such kind of devotion!

 

What do I have to give you which is not yours already

I have my sins , my ignorance, which alone are  mine

Can I exchange  them for your causeless grace

But that will be a bad bargain for you Oh Lord!

 

I can say I love you and offer you my love

But it is but a drop in the ocean of your love

As long as I say 'I love you' or  'I give you,'

I do not deserve your grace for, the 'I' should go.

 

Take the 'I' from me and give me 'Thou,'

Let me live in 'Thee' forgetting myself

Make me yours and let the air I breathe

Bring your name and fill my heart .
