Misc Praise Songs – Australian Arti (Guitar)

   D     G          D
Oh Glorious Eternal Ancient One,

     Em                              A
Your face is a bright transcendental sun.

    G                           D
Lighten this dark world and the tears I weep.

   Em               A              D
My heart, Meher, I give to you to keep.

   D     G          D
Creator yet creationless you are,

      Em                          A
Truth and Truth's Body, Divine Avatar,

     G                            D
Who through compassion the three worlds maintains,

   Em              A                D
Destroy this ignorance that life sustains.

       D           G                D
These five lights are the whirling spokes of breath

    Em                                 A
Of the world-wheel that bears me unto death

  G                      D
Unless You, who are infinitely kind,

     Em                     A             D
Break the wheel's hub which is conditioned mind.

     D        G                 D
This incense is my love; these fruits, my art

      Em                                   A
Which to please You I have shaped from my heart.

  G                         D
Accept them as You would a simple flower

     Em           A                D
That has no use beyond its shining hour.

     D     G              D
You are myself; I sing to You in praise

    Em                                   A
And beg Your Love to bear me through the days

     G                   D
'Til You, the Everliving Perfect One,

  Em               A                 D
Illume my darkness with Your Shining Sun
