Total Submission

I won’t ask, not to break my heart

If you so desire, break me 

and leave me scattered from west to east

just give me strength to bear the pain

So that I don't fail you

I do not complain about the wounds you inflict

I hold them as dear as your love and kindness

just help me bleed until I am clean

I don’t ask you to fulfill my desire

just give me courage to fulfill yours, 

no matter it is against mine

I bow my head to you Master, 

In you I trust

In you I find my strength

I will not complain. I will not question

My heart is doubtless, My soul has faith

Throw a stone at me and I won’t stop you

I will pick and bring it back to you

I will not raise my head, I will not say a word

I owe my being to you

I owe you my soul

Please don't give myself back to me

How can I keep what is not mine

I am at your door, always I'll be

in disgrace and humility I found blessings manifold

And it is not the Masters who choose their disciples

It is the disciples...

and I have chosen you

I give the reins of my fate in your hands

Master of the Masters, 

you conquer the parts of my soul, that I could never rule

O’ Master of the hearts, Soul of the souls

down on my knees, 

I submit to love

to the roses, and to the thorns

consume me.
